Using the Copy function allows you to have a variety of reports based on the same query or common format. Once you create a report, you can use the Copy function to create duplicate and make the necessary changes.
Best practices for copying include, renaming the report title as a variation of the original to reflect the changes made.
To copy a report, perform the following:
-
Select the report you want to copy and click the Copy button in the Report ribbon. Alternatively, you can right click on the report and select Copy.
-
The report will have Copy "n" of "report name" where "n" represents the copy number.
-
Click the Edit button with the Copy report selected to make the changes including renaming the report and description. To learn more about editing, click here.
You can make as many copies of a report as needed.
