duplicate symbols in worksheet reports

[pbat]

I have made a series of custom door symbols with a record format that includes door no., dim, material, type, etc. on it. When I create a worksheet report, it shows four symbols on the worksheet for ever symbol on the drawings. Each of the repeated symbols have the exact same data. I could hide the extra instances by using the sum command, but I would like to know/understand what is going on. I have tested the symbols and worksheets on an empty file and it works find there. Any idea what is making the worksheet show extra datal?

Thanks in advance,

Edit the criteria of the worksheet to only show the symbols on the design layer.

Worksheets by default count not only the original symbol instance, but also the "images" of the objects in viewports.
