Copy an Existing Report

Overview

The Report Copy Wizard enables you to quickly and easily make a duplicate report. This is useful because it allows you to create a new report that varies only slightly from an existing one.

Using the Report Copy Wizard

The steps describe how to copy a report and set its properties.

Step 1: Initiate the copy

Click Copy Report above the list of reports on the Reports/Analyze page.
Click Next and select the report to copy.
Alternatively, click the Copy icon next to a report in the list.

Step 2: Name and describe the new report

Name the new report.
If you accept the default name, the name appends "(Copy)" to the original name.
Give the report a Description that tells other users about the function of the report.

Step 3: Assign grouping (optional)

Optionally, select a Group that will determine where the report displays in the Reports list.
Or you can type a name for a New Group if you wish to create a group.

Step 4: Proceed to confirmation

Click Next.
Check the details displayed in the Report Copy Confirmation.
Click Finish to close the wizard or Back to change details.
On the final screen, click Finish to close the wizard or click the option to copy another report.

Step 5: Copying a Changes Report (special case)

If you copy a report that has the “Lock report to enable Changes Report options” feature enabled, the new report will not have any result sets saved.
Each result set is unique for a specific report id, account id, and event id.
You will be able to unlock the changes option and modify the filters and columns of the new report.
The Report: Columns and Filters tabs only get locked after you export the first result set from that report.
See the Changes Report topic for more information about this report type.
Note: Help topics may include features about to be released.
