Edit, Replace, or Remove Custom Layouts

You can edit, replace, or remove custom print and export layouts that you’ve created. For example, you might want to remove a custom print layout if the dashboard page to which the layout is associated has changed.

  1. Open the dashboard or dashboard page.
  2. On the Dashboard page toolbar, click Tools and select Print & Export Options.
  3. In the Print & Export Options dialog, go to the Custom Print & Export Layouts area and click the gear icon, then select one of the following:
    • Create and Edit Layouts - A warning message is displayed indicating that the existing print layouts may not work properly if the dashboard page has been modified. Select one of the following and click OK:
      • Keep existing layouts - The BI Publisher Report Editor opens in a new browser window, where you can edit the existing layouts.
      • Remove existing layouts and create new layouts - The BI Publisher Report Editor opens in a new browser window, where you can create new layouts.
    • Replace Layouts - A warning message is displayed indicating that all the existing layouts will be replaced. Click OK to delete the associated BI Publisher report and data model, and auto-generate new layouts. The BI Publisher Report Editor opens in a new browser window, where you can create new layouts.
    • Remove Layouts - A warning message is displayed indicating that all the existing layouts will be removed. Click OK to remove the layouts and the associated BI Publisher report and data model.
  4. When you’ve finished editing, replacing, or removing layouts, click OK to close the Print & Export Options dialog.
