Copy the layout from another report using DC1 Report Writer in DC1 Analyser

This is ideal if there is a layout, already created for a report, that is similar to that you want to achieve.

You can save a lot of time by copying all information at one time and deleting that not relevant or copying just the information relevant.

Open the report for which you want to create a layout and toggle to the Layout page.
Click Edit layout.
You access the Maintain layout for report window for the applicable report. Click the Open copy window icon.
You access the Copy report definition window.

Select the report from which you want to copy the layout and click Layout.

You see all variables included in the layout in the bottom section of the window.

When selecting what to copy you have two choices. You can:

Click Select all, which highlights everything in the lower part of the window, and then drag it to the opened Maintain layout for report window. Everything is pasted exactly as it appeared in the report from which you copied the information.
Select (click once) the applicable variable and drag it to the applicable location in the Maintain layout for report window. Repeat for all applicable variables.

Save the layout information.
