Changing a Data Source

To change a data source for a report:
  1. On the Data tab:
    • Click replace icon. The Change Data Source window is displayed.
    • Click new data source icon to display the Add Data Source window.
  2. In the Change Data Source window, select a data source.
    Change Data Source Window
    Change Data Source Window
  3. Click Change. If the data sources are compatible, then the list of available data items is displayed in the Data tab. This means that every data item that is defined in the data source that is being replaced has to be defined in the replacement data source. The data items must share the same names (which is not the same thing as the labels). The replacing data source can have additional data items. The additional data items are displayed in the Data tab when the data source is replaced.
    If the data sources are not compatible, a message is displayed.
