When you select a hierarchy variable as "Personalized filter question" in Report Properties, an additional property, the "Personalized Filter Base", becomes available .
Figure 1 - Setting the Personalized Filter Base
You may wish to set up the personalized report to give the managers just the results from respondents directly connected to his or her department, or to give them results from all respondents connected to their department and all sub-departments (that is, the department’s “children”).
For example, when you select Sales as the current hierarchy level, a Direct level report will give a report with the four respondents directly connected to Sales, whereas Include children will give a report with all 39 respondents in Sales, Direct Sales and Partner Sales.
