Duplicating a Report
Duplicating a report gives you a new report pre-filled with the original’s columns and criteria. When you need the same report with one filter changed — a different year, a different pasture, a different owner — copying is far quicker than building it again.
How to Duplicate a Report
- Go to the Reports dashboard.
- Find the report you want to copy and click the copy icon on its card.
- The Duplicate Report window opens, pre-filled from the original and named “[original name] (Copy)”.
- Change the name and adjust the columns or criteria as needed.
- Click Save.
Nothing is saved until you click Save. Closing the window creates no report, and the original is never modified.
What Gets Copied
| Item | Copied? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | With “ (Copy)” appended — rename it before saving. |
| Columns | Yes | Same columns, in the same order. |
| Sort order | Yes | Sort column and direction carry over. |
| Criteria | Yes | Every filter, including age, exclusions and all date ranges. |
A report stores no results of its own — it runs its criteria fresh each time you open it — so the copy produces up-to-date data as soon as it is saved.
When to Duplicate
- Year-over-year reports — Copy “2025 Calf Crop” and shift the date range.
- Same report, different slice — Copy a herd inventory report and add a pasture or owner filter.
- A shared starting point — Build one report with the columns your operation likes, then copy it as the base for every new report.
- Testing a change safely — Copy a report you depend on before experimenting with its criteria.
Tips
- Rename first, then edit criteria. It’s easy to lose track of which copy is which once you have three.
- Copies are the fastest way to reuse a column set. Choosing report columns takes the longest; duplicating skips it entirely.
- Duplicate before a big edit. If you’re about to rework a report other people use, copy it first and rework the copy.
