Editing a report

When you are viewing an active report (one that is not in draft mode), you can create a new report, make a copy, delete the report, or edit it.

After a report has been activated, the next time you put it into draft mode for editing purposes, the active version persists. You can use the report on a dashboard, storyboard, and discussion; and other users can still view the report. After the edit is complete on the draft version, the report writer can save the report, which replaces the current active report. If the report writer selects Save As, a new report is created.

To create a new report, make a copy, or delete a report

When you are viewing an active report, click the Report tab, and select one of the following options:

• New—Leaves the current report and begins creating a new report.
• Copy—Creates a separate copy of the current report, which you can manipulate without effecting the original.
• Delete—Deletes the current report from the system.
