How to copy or clone an existing report

Today I've updated a related Support Center article where I listed several possible ways of accomplishing this task. 

I would appreciate it if you describe in comments which approach # you are using yourself or describe your own solution, if it is not listed there. Thanks in advance!

  1. Hi, we are currently using approach 1 for predefined reports and approach 2.3 for run-time designed reports. Both solutions are fine so far. But for predefined reports we would like to offer our customers a more powerful solution as it is described in ticket T250530.
    Thanks, Matthias (BRZ)

    1. 1.1 for predefined reports I meant.

    2. Thanks for sharing your experience with the XAF community, Matthias. Yes, the multi-layered report layout concept indeed looks interesting (reminds me our Application Model). Have you come with a suitable custom solution since then (probably after contacting our XtraReports team as well)? If so, it would be great if you could share it with others.

    3. Implementing a custom solution for this is still on our roadmap for the next year. - Matthias

    4. OK, thanks. I have again shared this information with our XtraReports team so that they can consider your use-case scenario for the future.

  2. Copying or cloning an existing report can streamline your reporting process significantly. In most reporting tools, you can usually right-click on the report you wish to clone and select the 'Copy' or 'Clone' option, then rename and modify it as needed. For enhanced reporting capabilities, consider integrating subtitleedit to optimize your workflow.
