You can create a copy of an existing report by saving it as a new report. After you save an existing report as a new report, you can modify the new report without affecting other users who need to view the original report. You might create a copy of an existing report, because you want to use the same data as the original report, but filter or organize the information in a different way.
-
Open the Report List by clicking Reports in the left navigation
pane.
-
Run the report that you want to create a copy of by clicking the report shortcut.
-
From the Actions menu in the Report Viewer, click
Save as.
-
In the Save report as modal dialog box, specify the following information:
- Title
- A title for the report. By default, the system provides a title, which you can
change. You can specify the same title for multiple reports. The generated report
key is the unique identifier for a report rather than the title.
- Description
- A short description of the report.
- Category
- The category that you want the report assigned to. Select the category from the
menu.
-
Click Submit to save the report. The new report opens in edit
mode, and a report shortcut is created in the category that you selected.
