Once a governance report has been configured with all its sections and fields, it can be copied onto other governance reports to speed up their build process.
To locate the existing governance reports, click on the Administration Cog > Configuration and then expand the triangle next to Governance Reports or Governance Reports (Standalone) in the menu on the left-hand side. Locate and click on the governance report you wish to copy TO i.e. your blank one. Click Actions > Copy.

All available governance reports will be displayed in the pop-up, select from the list the governance report you wish to copy FROM and click OK.
Advice
- Make sure to read the message that comes up to ensure you are happy that the copy is going in the correct direction. Always choose the governance report that you want to copy TO, not the governance report you want to copy FROM.
