Saving a derived element

After you have created a derived element you can save it for use on future reports or documents.

To save a derived element

•  

1. After creating your derived element, click Save As. The Save As dialog box opens.

2. Browse to the folder in which you want to save the derived element.

• If you want to save the derived element in a new folder, click the New folder. The New Folder dialog box opens. Create a new folder as described in Creating a folder.

3. In the Name text box, type the name of the derived element.

4. In the Description text box, type a short description for the derived element.

5. Click OK. The derived element is saved.

Note: If you attempt to save a derived element with the same name and location as an existing derived element, a dialog box will open and tell you that you are attempting to overwrite an existing object. You will then be returned to the Save As dialog box to give the derived element a new name or location.
