Can I copy a report from one app to another

I have two apps with identical structures and would like to copy a report from one app to the other, is this possible?
  • I believe you could--if the apps are truly identical, meaning the field IDs are all the same--copy the expanded URL from the report in one app, e.g.:

    ?a=q&qt=tab&dvqid=17&query=({'4'.XTV.'-56303012'}AND{'1'.IR.'last+1+wk'})&clist=35.72.57.58.74.56.36.3&opts=nos.

    and paste it into the other app, then save the report.

    I have not tried it, but I don't see why it would not work
  • Yes. Good thought. I suppose if you had a complex set of filters that you wanted to avoid redoing, that could work.
  • Thanks for this. I just did it with a very large set of filters and it worked like a charm.

    Better still, I moved the logic for the filters into a formula checkbox in the relevant table, and now I just filter on that for every report.
  • how do you do the actual paste though.  Cant seem to find where to paste the expanded URL to generate the report in the new app


  • No problem.
    Go to the target table where you want to build the new report and run a list all report.
    The URL will have a ? in it.

    Paste the expanded URL starting at the ? and leave the stuff before that.
