" tsbere has had two thoughts on the populate a bucket from a report bit, one for "when the report is run" and the other "from the report output""

I prefer the when the report is run option. So that scheduled reports can automatically create buckets when run.

 It could be an output selection option like html,excel options. Then have the user specify the new bucket name, bucket type, and a drop down of the column name that supplies the ID needed, or just require that the first column be the ID column when you want a bucket produced.

Some macros would be nice for the bucket name, so it can be set to the report name if wanted, or just to add a date entry to the name.

Maybe an option for situations where the results go into an existing bucket to allow for either appending results or overwriting the contents of the bucket.

The new bucket name and ID could be added to the output summary report.
