Which method is used to copy a custom report?

The method of utilizing related actions from the report writer report is key for copying a custom report. When you are in the report writer, related actions provide a context-sensitive menu that enables various operations specific to the report you are working on. This includes options to copy or create a new version of the report, making it an effective way to duplicate existing custom reports while retaining the original’s configurations and settings.

This method is particularly useful because it ensures all the report’s properties and structure are maintained during the copy process. Additionally, it allows for adjustments and refinements to be made after copying, providing flexibility in how the report can be utilized without starting from scratch.

Other methods, such as direct export from the dashboard or running a custom report import task, do not focus specifically on copying reports in the same integrated manner. Likewise, while saving as a template might seem advantageous, it typically serves a different purpose aimed at creating reusable report formats rather than duplicating an existing custom report in its entirety. Thus, utilizing related actions in the report writer is the most suitable choice for effectively copying a custom report.
