Solved: Re: SAS VA 7.1 Mirror Report

Albert0 · Posted 01-05-2018 03:57 AM

Hi All,

I would like to ask on how can I create a report that have a mirror copy of several reports that I have?

For example, I have report A, B and C. Each report has 5 section and 1 section contains an Overview. I will create Report D by using the Import tab of SAS VA. With this I can easily copy a Report Section from Report A, B and C.

I want have a feature for the Report D that any changes applied to Report A, B, C will also apply to the Report D.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Hi @Albert0,

SAS Visual Analytics 7.1 doesn't provide a way for you to have the original report change the copies of the report. In the 7.4 and 8.2 releases, there's a feature that lets you synchronize prompt values across linked reports, but it doesn't really sound like that's what you're looking for.

Changes to one report are not applied to any other report, even if the other reports are copies of the first report.

Hi Madelyn,

Can I make the report linked to the new report that I have created? Like if I change something on the original report the copies will change also?
