Hierarchies can also export more levels than are currently expanded in the visual, so visible screen state is not always the full export scope.
Exam clue: what the visual shows = summarized; lower-level model rows = underlying.

- Report setting: controls allowed export depth
- Summarized data: keeps visual aggregation and filters
- Underlying data: exposes lower-level model rows
- Admin setting: can override report permissions
