  5. Click [Copy]
  6. You should rename this report to what you like (its default is "report name - copy", its best not to change other settings on the first copy as some of these are needed to keep it in the correct place. If you think its important to add to the description then do so
  7. A good Name for a report is similar to the original but with a more slightly more detailed ending eg. "Invoice" should be "Invoice - current"
  8. Click [Save]
  9. Now you have a new report which only your Art Centre and see and use.
  10. Select your newly copied report
  11. Click [Design]
  12. Once in the designer you will be able to edit the reports layout and setup. Its very similar to Microsoft Word.
