Add button "duplicate report" to Email Reports #17794
Comments
Thanks for creating this feature request @ziegenberg 👍 thought we already have an issue for this but couldn't find a duplicate. |
Ich was looking for an duplicate, but didn't find any either. It might be helpful to tag issues with their corresponding plugin name? Or a component name? Would make searching for them much easier. |
Good suggestion @ziegenberg 👍 was thinking the same a few times. |
Looking at your 1,8k open issues, it seems like it might be a project on its own for an initial triage. But I'm sure, it will pay off in the long run |
Requested again this week: Question: What is the one thing you’d like to see improved in Matomo and why? |
The duplicate could actually be implemented quite quickly. Instead of duplicate, I would suggest to add a button like Note: Copying reports to other sites is a bit more tricky. As each site has different reports available (like other goals, ecommerce or custom dimensions). It could be possible that a selected report wouldn't be available, and the scheduled report could break. So simply adding a site selector won't be enough, as we would need to dynamically reload the list of reports. This would for sure be possible, but would be a bit more work to do. |

When creating a similar email report to an already existing one in Matomo, it would be a nice usability enhancement if you could just duplicate a report and modify it slightly afterwards.
Summary
When creating and scheduling many reports or re-creating an existing report with slightly altered details, it is cumbersome and error-prone to have the old report open in one browser tab and create the new report in a second tab. Duplicating existing reports and going from there to alter them slightly would be a greater usability enhancement.
This is a mockup of a possible UI for this feature. There needs to be a better icon; I just select one that somewhat fits.
