Note: To view the workbook catalog on a mobile device, you must use the desktop site view. Consult your device's help for instructions on how to enable this view. For example, if you are using the Safari browser on an Apple device, go to any website and click the aA icon that appears before the address bar. From the options that display, choose Request Desktop Website.

To customize a base DV workbook:

If you want to customize any of the sample workbooks, you must first create a copy of a workbook and store it in a different folder. This is because any customizations made to the workbooks in the Base DV Workbooks folder will be lost when the application is patched or upgraded.

  1. Navigate to the Base DV Workbooks folder, open the workbook you want to customize, and click Save As.
  2. In the Save Workbook dialog, edit the Location section to move the workbook to a new folder, and click Save.
