Copy and Paste between reports¶
What is new - 6.0¶
Copy and paste of objects was always possible inside one report. Version 6 introduces the ability to copy and paste the following object types between reports in the same instance of the Studio. Restrictions may apply for copying.
If the object to be copied makes use of a user-defined function or parameter, the function will not be created. If the function relies on a global variable, the variable will not be available unless the destination report is a sub-report that shares global variables with the host report.
| Object type | Possible | Restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Field (connected to table.column) | Yes | The table and column must be present in the destination report |
| Text | Yes | |
| Chart | No | |
| Image | Yes | |
| Parameter | Yes | No copy if the destination report contains a parameter with the same (case sensitive) name |
| Function | Yes | No copy if the destination report contains a function with the same (case sensitive) name |
| Sum | Yes | The table and column must be present in the destination report |
| Special field | Yes | |
| Sub-report | Yes | A global variable defined in the host report used in the filter function of the sub-report will not be copied/created. A user-defined group sort function will not be copied. |
