Tip #164: Copying Custom Report Groups in Empower
Welcome back to Get Empowered! In the last Empower tip-of-the-week post for Empower Chromatography Data Software, we learned how to set up automatic email notifications in Empower (Tip #163).
In this week’s tip, we will learn about copying custom report groups between projects. Once we create a custom report group, we may want to use it in another project, or possibly have it present in all projects.
Let’s get started.
CASE 1 | Copying a Report Group from One Project to Another
Step 1
Open ‘Report Publisher’ in the project with the custom report group and then open ‘Report Publisher’ of the project you want to copy it to. Size the windows so that they are side by side (figure 1).

Step 2
Drag and drop the ‘custom report group’ from the original project to the destination project (figure 2).

CASE 2 | Copying a Report Group to All Projects
Step 1
Open Report Publisher of the project with the ‘custom report group’ that you want to copy to all other projects (figure 3).

Step 2

Step 4
On the right side of the screen, under ‘Project Report Groups’, locate and highlight the ‘custom report group’. Click the << icon tool to copy the report group to the ‘Default Report Groups’ (figure 6).

Step 5
The ‘custom report group’ will now be a default report group in all Empower projects (figure 7).

It’s that easy!
Final Note: This procedure can be followed using the QuickStart or Pro interface.
