Hierarchy Level will only feature the Employee option.

Use the selection types to filter the exact employees you are desiring to view data for.

Selection Type will display options of All, Within Specific Groups, and Specific Employee.

Is this data for Employees > All? Employees > Within > BDR Role? Employees > Custom > Joe Smith?

Special Note When Using the Employee > Within > "Manager" Hierarchy Level In Cases where a Manager Manages other Managers.

If Manager A is listed as a Manager B's manager within their user settings, any of Manager B's direct reports will also be considered as users Manager A manages, or Manager A's subordinates.
