Transfers - including/excluding

Question

Can someone kindly explain how Q reports handles transfers in reports?  There are several options for including/excluding various types of transfers.  While I've been able to stumble thru the options to create reports, I'd like to understand Quicken's definitions.

For example, on the category tab we can select/de-select "Transfers."  And if we scroll to the bottom of the categories list, we can select/de-select  each account, which affects the display of transfers into/out of those accounts.

Also, on the Advanced tab we have a drop-down to:
 Include All
 Exclude All
 Exclude "self-transfers"
 Exclude "internal"

What are "self-transfers" and "internal" transfers?

What types of transfer transactions does each menu option control?

Thanks for the assist.

To find transfer transactions, you may use a Transaction report: select Reports > Banking > Transaction

To exclude non-transfer entries from the report, you may uncheck the categories that are not account registers: press Alt + C and select the Categories tab

Can you help me start from the beginning?   What report do I use to find transfers?

No and No.

Let's assume all accounts, categories, transfers, etc., are included in the report and there is transfer from Acct #1 to Acct #2 .  If we uncheck the Acct #2 category, all transactions with the Acct #2 category will be excluded from the report.  This means all the self-transfers in Acct #2 and all the transfers to or from Acct #2 in other accounts will not be in the report.  The transfer's withdrawal in Acct #1 will not be included.  The transfer's deposit in Acct #2 will be included.
