[IR SS2] Alignment reports from Geometry tab?

Question

I need to get reports on all of our alignments in this project. The XML Reports tool doesn't have a pulldown to allow me to select the desired alignment. I either have to type in the name, or find and pick the graphics. This seems awfully labor intensive when I have a list of my alignments sitting in front of me in the geometry tab of the InRoads dialog. 
 The "Review" alignments doesn't give me all the report options (that I need) that XML Reports has, so I can't use that. If I select all my alignments, I get one huge report instead of individual reports, so there's no time saving there. 
 Am I missing something? Or is it really this time consuming to generate reports for an entire project?

The issue with having a dropdown menu is when you do want to report on multiple alignments, it would only allow 1 alignment to be active to do the report. But I can see that if you want to report on every alignment and build an individual report, you would find this beneficial. You may can customize the report format you want to do a page break after each alignment where you can report on ALL alignments using the asterisk (*) wildcard and allow it to generate the mass report but each alignment starting on a new page. 
 
 The reporting option allows you to enter in the names, ranges, wildcards, etc to build the list of alignments you want to include in the reports. There are many ways you can build the list for reporting the alignments. I don't believe the recording was posted to the communities, but one of the past SIGs covered ways to input into these fields to build the list.
