If there is an existing
saved report that closely matches the report that you want to create,
then you can open the report that contains the report objects that
you want to reuse. The report objects can be from either a report
that has been saved in the designer interface or from a report that
has been exported from the explorer interface. You can save the report
under a new name or you can edit the report to make some customizations
and then save it.
To base a new report
on report objects imported from one or more existing reports:
-
Open or import the existing
report by doing one of the following:
-
On the SAS Visual Analytics home
