It would be great to be able to update a saved report. Being able to update a saved report would help with dashboard saved report graphs and workflows. Currently, if we needed to add an additional field to a saved report we have to create a new saved report and delete the previous report. Workflows and axcelerate user dashboards would also need to be adjusted, which is possible but, it's difficult to know which workflows and user dashboards are using each saved report.

  Hi All,

  The ability to update saved reports has been added into aXcelerate as part of our ongoing enhancements to reporting functionality. This will be available in the live environment following our next release. Thank you all for the suggestion and for voting.

  Hi Calvin,

  You have identified some good reasons why this would be a great enhancement to the reporting feature. I would say that this feature will eventually be developed however it is not yet on our development plan for the near future.

  This is a good candidate for a feature request that could be bumped in priority if there is more support shown from other aXcelerate users. I see that Shane has also backed this idea... We'll keep an eye on this and discuss it when planning our future development goals.

  Hi Calvin, (and Shane)

  Just writing an update to say this is now on our development plan. No planned release date yet but we will aim for third-quarter 2016.

  Hi Calvin, 

  This task has now bubbled up to the top of our development list so I'll be working on this in the next fortnight.

  Hi Jade, 

  I just read the release note on this new functionality. It says "To update a report, run it, change your settings as required and resave it with the same name." 
  
  If you're creating a new report and accidentally save it with the same name as another report what would happen? Would you accidentally overwrite an old report or would it identify a duplicate?

  Hi Calvin,

  When you enter a report name that is the same as another previously saved report you will have the option to save over or save a copy.

  You may wish to experiment with this in our Staging environment, we'd welcome any feedback.

  Has this feature now been included?

  Still can't seem to update an existing saved report and / or duplicate one to add just one more field.
