Report Versions

For every report there exists a set of versions (the lowermost list on the picture):

For the currently selected report “Report on Adventure Works” the list contains just one version in status “Under Construction”.

Note. What is the version of the report? In BAT a report can have a few versions. Users in fact do not open a report, but one of its versions. Versions are implemented to hold all the history of modifications of the report, and to be able to go back to the previous version at any moment.

So, even if we give access for the users, they will not see this report because there are no active versions of this report. Set the version into “Active” status:

There are two items in the context menu for a report version:

The action “Clone Report Version” creates an exact copy of the report version within the same report. The action “Clone as New Report” creates a new report, the first version of which will be an exact copy of that version for which you executed this action.

The same two actions can be executed with the help of the buttons on the panel under the list of versions.
