How to Save a Derived Element
Once you have created derived elements, you can save them as a stand-alone derived element group for use in other reports and documents. When you modify a stand-alone derived element in a report or document, you have the option of applying the changes to the stand-alone object (which affects all the reports and documents that the derived element is used in) or to the open report or document only. For steps, see To Modify a Derived Element in a Report or Document.
For an overview of derived elements, see Derived Elements Editor. For a more detailed introduction to derived elements, with examples and images, see the Derived Elements chapter in the In-memory Analytics Help.
