Creating a Linked Report

Note: Linked reports are distinguishable from reports that are not linked, by their icon

In Report Manager, from the list of folders in the left hand pane, select the report from which to create a linked report, then from the Toolbar, select New Linked Report. This creates the linked report in the current folder. You can then move this to any other folder using the Cut and Paste menu options.

Note: You can also right-click your mouse when selecting a report, to open a pop-up menu where you can find the same New Linked Report option that is available on the Toolbar.
In the New Linked Report dialog, Linked Report Name field, the name of the file you selected is displayed with the message Duplicate item name below it. The OK button below the field is also disabled. In the Linked Report Name field, replace the name shown with a new name for the linked report.

Note: In the Linked Report Name field, you can enter up to a limit of 20 text characters. You cannot specify a location for the linked report in this field.
Click OK. This saves the linked report to the current folder, in the same location as the original report.
To move the linked report from the current folder to another folder, right-click the linked report and from the pop-up menu select Copy, then move the cursor to the required folder, right-click and from the pop-up menu select Paste to place the copied report there.

Note: Linked reports are distinguishable from reports that are not linked, by their icon .
