Broken Reports

Hello, 

I recently made a copy of a report and uploaded it to the server and it broke both the original and new report. All I did in the new report was hide fields. The steps I took are listed below. Am I missing something critical that would make both reports break? I would appreciate any advice you can give me. 

 

-Download original report (PM651500)

-Rename it and save it to another file location (new name PM651550)

-Hide fields

-Upload to the server with the new report name 

-Create the site map location copying the original except for changing the screen name to PM.65.15.50 and the URL to match the screen name 

-Grant access to the new screen 

 

Thanks!

Hi @alecl,

It’s better to re-upload the subreport files and delete ‘PM651550’ from the sitemap. Then, create a fresh copy of the report ‘PM651500’ with a new report ID and a new sitemap ID that isn’t already in the system.

Hope this helps!!

Update:

I found the issue. One of the two sub-reports in PM651500 IS PM651550…. the name I used for my new report.

Any suggestions on removing the mistake or is the best course of action to re-upload the sub-reports with new names as well as the original WIP report with updated links to the new sub-reports?
