About saving and loading a report

Note: This topic was updated for 9.3.1.

If you want to copy a report from one map to another, save it to a file on disk. You can then load the report in another map and place it as appropriate. When you save a report to a file, you're creating a static copy that is not linked to the actual data from which you created the report. Thus, you won't be able to modify the report in any way.

You can also export a report to the following file types:

• Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
  


• Rich Text Format (RTF)
  
• Plain text (TXT)
