Create report copy ability with enhanced reporting
I regularly find myself wanting to copy an existing report (say the Monthly Owner Report), make a small change, and save that as a new separate report. In these cases, it would often be very difficult to recreate the report from scratch, since the report I want to copy has been changed so much from the base owner report.

You now can clone your own reports. At the moment, there isn’t a UI for cloning a report so the procedure is a bit manual:
Step 1: Create a custom report template
Step 2: Hover over the “Customize” button and select Copy Link Address
Step 3: Paste the URL, and replace the string "customize.jsp" with “import_template.jsp”, as in:
Step 4: Use the “import_template” URL to import it into your own account (creating a clone of the report).

Hi Eddie! Thanks for your feedback. We are developing the feature to "import" a report template into your account. If you are “importing” an existing report, it is essentially the same as cloning the report.
Once the feature is released, we will let you know. Your patience is much appreciated in the meantime.
