The option to copy a
report to an album is available when you are viewing a report in the
Gallery or
Resource workspace.
To copy reports to an album, perform the following steps:
-
When viewing reports
in the
Gallery or
Resource workspace,
identify the report that you want to copy to an album.
Note: When viewing a report in
an album, you cannot link the report to another album.
-
Open the gallery that
you want to copy a report from. Select the report that you want to
copy.
-
On the workspace bar,
click the Album icon (
).
-
Use the down arrow to
display this menu:
-
Select one of the following
types of copies:
-
Select
Copy Static
Link to Album to copy the report to your album.
-
Select
Copy Dynamic
Link to Album to copy the latest version of this report
to your album.
Note: If the report that you are
copying was generated by a SAS IT Resource Management 3.3 or earlier
job, a message appears saying the report cannot be copied. (Reports
that were generated by previous releases do not support this feature.)
You can copy the same
report to an album as both a static link and a dynamic link. This
feature enables you to compare the contents of the reports from the
first day to the latest day. On the first day, the report that was
copied as a static link is displayed. On the second day and every
day thereafter until the static report expires, both the static link
and the dynamic link are displayed.
Static reports are links
to a particular report instance in the SAS Content Server. Dynamic
reports are links to the latest version of a report. In both types
of copies to an album, the links are removed when that instance of
the report is removed from the SAS Content Server.
If a report is deleted
and the cache is refreshed, the link to that report is no longer
available and automatically removed from an album. If you open an
album that does not contain any reports, then a message notes that
there are no reports in this album.
Note: Reports are deleted when
they pass their expiration date. In some cases, the administrator
might delete reports manually. For more information, see the “Delete
Reports from the SAS Content Server” topic in the Administrative
Tasks chapter of the
SAS IT Resource Management 3.4: Reporting
Guide.
