Duplicate a Report Object

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:
  1. On the canvas, right-click the report object that you want to duplicate.
  2. 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).
  3. (Optional) Move the duplicate report object to another section. Right-click the report object that you want to move. Select Move <ReportObject> tothen select<SectionName>, where <ReportObject> is the name of the report object and <SectionName> is the name of the section.
  4. (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.
