Copy a Report Section
SAS Web Report Studio
enables authorized users to save the current view of one or more reports
within a section. This is helpful for ad hoc analysis. For example,
say that you want to save a view of the data as you filter and drill.
As you explore the data source, you discover a potential problem.
You can save this view as part of the same report and e-mail it to
your co-workers to discuss.
When you copy a section,
everything in the section is copied to a new section. However, if
the section contains a stored process that has been run, then the
new section will contain only a reference to the stored process as
it appears in the report definition. If a section contains embedded
data (for example, a report that is saved as a manually refreshed
report or a scheduled report that has already run), then the section
cannot be copied.
Note: You cannot copy sections
that contain externally created content, such as section content created
in SAS Enterprise Guide or generated from SAS Output Delivery System
(ODS).
