Ram Elements Output - Data - Joint List

I've been trying to figure out what data is presented in the output - data - joint list option.

I have a small building modeled with all beam connections defined with strong and weak axis moments hinged. When I select any number of beams and create this output report, it only provides results for one end of each beam, and those results often erroneously list the connection as being "fixed" despite the hinges defined within the model.

It's also interesting to note that the report is entitled, "Steel Connections" rather than "Joint List"

I couldn't find anything in the user documentation.

Can anyone explain what information is being conveyed in this report, why it only reports on one end of every beam, and why it lists some elements as being "fixed" despite the hinges that are defined within the model?

Thanks in advance.
