Duplicating a report
object in the designer enables you to use a copy of the same object
in the same section or another section of your report.
Note: If you duplicate a control
with a parameter, the parameter is not copied from the original control
because the parameter can get its value from only one control.
To duplicate a report
object:
-
On the canvas, right-click the report object that you want to
duplicate.
-
Select
Duplicate
<ReportObject>, where
<ReportObject>
is
the name of the report object in the report. (For example,
List
Table 1,
Bar Chart 1,
and so on.) The duplicated report object is placed on the canvas with
a name based on the original name. For example, if the original report
object name is
List Table 1, then the duplicate report object is displayed as
List
Table 1 (1). If you choose to duplicate the
same report object again, then it is displayed as
List
Table 1 (2).
-
(Optional) Move the duplicate report object to another section. Right-click the report
object that you want to
move. Select
Move
<ReportObject> to<SectionName>, where
<ReportObject> is
the name of the report object and
<SectionName> is
the name of the section.
-
(Optional) If you want the report object to appear in a different location, then
drag and drop it in a new location.
If you move an object
to a section with precision layout, then you must manually move the
object to its proper location. All objects are put in the top left
corner by default.
