Hi all,
is it possible to make it possible for users to create their own reports from an existing one?
I know the possibility of customizing visuals (preview feature), but this is not sufficient.
Can I somehow achieve to keep the original report untouched, but enable people to create their own stuff based on this report?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @NovaBI ,
You need first to grant build permission to others then ask them to copy reports instead of editting the reports in the original ones.
Here is the reference:

Hi @NovaBI,
I don't know the actual solution but you can always keep two report 'A' and save it as 'B' in same workspace, then all users can use report B to create their personalised reports and save them.

Abhishek
