designs. However, you cannot copy another user’s private report designs unless you are a
CMS administrator.
If you do not know the report name, first select
List all

List all
, you can leave
the
Report name
blank, but you must select Standard or Custom in the
Report type

the name you must enter in this window does not always match the exact
names of standard reports.
