Copying a report

Last Updated : May 31, 2024 |

About this task

You can use the Copy option to duplicate a report in the Designer category of the same report type. For example, if you create a copy of a historical report, you can save the copy in the Designer category specifically designated for historical reports. This functionality enables you to create copies of any report type.

When you copy a report, use one of the following two options to save a copy:

  • Save to Device: CMS Supervisor Web stores a local copy on your device, which you can later upload to the CMS server.

  • Save Report: CMS Supervisor Web stores a copy of the report on the CMS server in the designer folder of the respective report category: Realtime, Historical, or Integrated.

Note:

  • By default, Web designer reports are in .report files. You can upload these reports to the CMS server using the CMS Supervisor Web client.

  • By default, PC designer reports are in .rep files. You can upload these reports to the CMS server using the Supervisor PC client. To use a PC designer report in CMS Supervisor Web, migrate it to the web designer report format after it has been uploaded.

You can change the file extension for the reports if required.
