"Focus reports" means to narrow down the data presented to a specified subset, focussing on the user's requirements for data and ignoring the rest.

The second item is a typo, I think :)

Yep thought as a copy paste error (IBM forgot to change 8 to 10).

another objective

Code Select Expand

Describe how to create the query model.

Is this related to Framework manager?

Also is "query model" and "model query" the same?
please advice.

[MFGF]

The query model is the main objective of your modelling efforts in Framework Manager. It is a collection of query subjects, relationships, query items and layers, built in such a way as to produce accurate, consistent reports at runtime.

A model query (subject) is one type of query subject commonly used in this process.
