Import a Report or Report Objects

You can import an entire existing report, any section from an existing report, or any report object from an existing report. You can immediately save the imported report with a new name, or you can customize it, and then save it.
Note: Reports that you export from an exploration in the explorer might look slightly different in the designer.
To import a report into the designer:
  1. Click Imports in the left pane. If the Imports tab is not visible, select Viewthen selectImports.
  2. Select a report name from Select a report to import, or click Import another report to display the Open window, where you can select a report. The report is displayed on the Imports tab.
