When you save a chart object, you can create a link between that chart object and the source object in the repository. Linking report objects to a source object saves time and effort. By updating one source object, you update all reports that are linked to this source object.
To save the chart object to the repository:
Select the chart, then select File, and then Save Object.
Specify a name and a location to where you want to save the chart.
Perform an action:
To create a link from the chart object in the report design to the source object in the repository, select Link to Source Object.
To save without creating a link from the chart object in the report design to the saved object in the repository, clear Link to Source Object.
Click Save to save the chart object to the repository. When you save a chart object objects in a report, only the specified object is saved, not the entire report design.
