You can create a report view, which uses the same report specification as the source report, but has different properties such as prompt values, schedules, delivery methods, run options, languages, and output formats.

Creating a report view does not change the original report. You can determine the source report for a report view by viewing its properties. The report view properties also provide a link to the properties of the source report.

If the source report is moved to another location, the report view link is not broken. If the source report is deleted, the report view icon changes to indicate a broken link, and the properties link to the source report is removed.

If you want to use a generic report as the underlying structure for additional reports, make a copy of the report. If you want a report to appear in more than one location, create a shortcut.

To create a report view, you must have execute or read permissions for the original report.
