Modify Instances in the WebI History

Help,

I need to modify the layout of an historical instance, in order to make possible the export of the instance in excel format.

Is there a way to save some layout changes of an instance, in the history of the report?

I cannot use the "Save As" option as I don't want a new report but I want to modify the historical instance or to have a new instance in the History.

Thanks for your precious advices!

Tube Girl,

In XI 3.1 SP2 when attempting what you have described you will receive an error: The document can't be saved, because you are attempting to overwrite a document instance, which is read-only. Please do a SaveAs action instead. (Error: WIS 30950).

So the answer is no, you cannot modify an historical instance.

Cheers!

You can highlight the instance and click on reschedule and change that instance to Excel format or create a new instance in excel format. If you need to actually change the report, as in add objects, etc. I am pretty sure you would have to modify the report or save it as a new one.
