Save Cloud Reports
In general, cloud user report templates and their reports function the same as system templates and reports. There are a few cases where they behave differently. All templates, system, cloud and custom, are linked to their reports. This means that changes made to the template are inherited by the linked report. This rule is true for cloud linked reports, with one addition, when a cloud template is updated in cloud, you are prompted to accept or refuse the update when you save the report.
For example, if you run a cloud template to create a report and save it, Cloud One, the cloud template and your report, Cloud One, are saved locally in your portal. Now let's say the cloud template has been modified by customer support and a new version has been promoted to the cloud. The next time you save Cloud One, you are prompted to accept the template modifications or refuse them.
When improvements are introduced, the section is automatically refreshed and your local Cloud-linked templates can also be updated if you choose to do so. However, if you saved a Cloud template with a different name or made a copy, that saved template is detached from the Cloud template and will not automatically inherit the updates.
