A workaround of moving a page from one dashboard to another in Viya 3.5

Does anyone know a workaround to move a page from one dashboard to another?

It seems like Viya 3.5 doesn't have this feature yet.

This feature has been added back to Viya 4 so you can easily import content from one report into another.

For Viya 3.5 though, we have to get a little creative. It potentially takes a bit of work up front, but you can achieve something pretty similar by doing the following:

1. In your source report, move all of your content on the page into a Standard Container. Rearrange the content however you need to but everything in the entire page needs to be inside of this container.

2. In the Container options, select Save To Objects Pane:

3. Go through the options here and choose to save data with it or not, it's up to you.

4. Now a new object appears in your Objects pane on the left side. If you saved without data, then it will show up in the Containers section. If you saved with data, then it will show up in the Objects with data section.

5. In the new/target report, drag and drop the new Object you created onto a new page. It should bring all of that content over from the source report.

Hopefully that helps!

It's not my question.

But if it were, I'd double accept your answer as a solution!

It's a HUGE timesaver, I've just applied it successfully for the first time.
