Copy or Move a Report Page to a Different Report

Ignition

How can I move a page from 1 report to another report? I do not see an easy way to do it.

2

Iā€™m wondering the same, I want to duplicate a page in the same report

3

Any way to do this simply? I am also wondering.

Bump, same question. It is painful to duplicate one currently..

Well, by some definition of "easy", this works. I put this all in the script console, but you should able to park the script in the project library and just invoke from the script console.

	else:
		RMEditorPaneUtils.getMainEditor().document.addPage(pageToCopy)
		print "Copied page", sourcePage, "from report", sourceReport, "to the end of report", targetReport

sourceReport = "a"
sourcePage = 0 # 0 index
targetReport = "b"
targetPage = -1 # -1 to append to the end, or a 0-indexed page to insert

copyPage(sourceReport, sourcePage, targetReport, targetPage)
