Choose a clear naming convention for saved reports
You can save a report with data, or without data.
- To save a report with data, you select Keep this version, and click Save as Report View.
- To save a report without data, you select Keep this version, and click Save Report.
When you run a report that you saved without data, the report is populated with the most current data in the database. When you run a report that you saved with data, the report contains the data from the point in time when you saved the report. To avoid overwriting the saved data, choose a naming convention that allows you to differentiate between the contents of the two reports.
For example, name one report Report1, and name the other report Report1_WithData_<date report was created>.
