Editing, Replacing, or Removing Custom Layouts

You can edit, replace, or remove custom layouts that you have created. For example, you might want to remove a custom print layout if the dashboard page to which the layout is associated has changed.

To edit, replace, or remove a custom layout:

1. Edit the dashboard that contains the page for which you want to edit, replace, or remove a custom layout. For information, see "Editing Dashboards."

2. Navigate to the dashboard page.

3. Click the Tools button and select Print & Export Options. The "Print & Export Options dialog" is displayed.

4. Click the Custom Print & Export Layouts button and select one of the following options:

   • Create and Edit Layouts — A warning is displayed to report that existing layouts may not work properly if the dashboard page has been modified. Respond to the warning as follows:

     • Select Keep existing layouts to keep the existing layouts. BI Publisher Report Editor opens, where you can edit the layouts.

     • Select Remove existing layouts and create new layouts to remove the existing layouts and create new ones. BI Publisher Report Editor opens, where you can create new layouts.

   • Replace Layouts — A warning is displayed to report that the existing layouts will be replaced. Confirm that you want to replace the existing layouts. If you click OK, then the existing data model and BI Publisher report are deleted and new ones autogenerated, and BI Publisher Report Editor opens, where you can create new layouts.

   • Remove Layouts — A warning is displayed. Confirm that you want to remove all existing layouts. If you click OK, then all layouts (as well as the associated BI Publisher report and data model) are removed.

5. When you have finished editing, replacing, or removing custom layouts, click OK in the Print & Export Options dialog to close it.

6. Save the dashboard.
