The ad hoc reports return multiple property values for properties published by multiple tools. There is an option on the report dialog to Display latest values only that returns only the latest values to the list view, detects any inconsistencies, and displays them in a different color (yellow). If the user requires more about why the data was inconsistent, then they execute the History or View Inconsistencies commands.
The reports must be configured with a view definition starting at the shared object and then navigating the SPFTEFComprisedOf relationship to the properties of the published data.
