Creating a User Created List
Creating a list allows a convenient way of making
report, chart, and data format requests using
multiple series. Instead of making an individual
request for each series, a Local List lets you
issue just one request to produce reports,
charts, and data formats for each series in the
list or a consolidated summary for all series.
