    How to copy a report to another report set:

    Eventually, we should have reports sets for:
    DCS = Dirt claiming sprint
    DCR = Dirt claiming route
    DAS = Dirt allowance sprint
    DAR = Dirt allowance route
    and the rest of the dirt categories plus all the turf categories and
    the AW categories (17 for each surface/class - 51 total).

    The ability to copy reports lets us find the profitable ones
    that Dave has already done for us and copy those to the proper
    category/categories. Any we might make could be profitable in
    multiple types of races and we would want them to be easily available
    by being in several different sets.

    Can't wait to hear what other people think of this.

    Remember - BUILD USEFUL COMPONENTS!
    Not just REPORTS!
    If you have too many reports - as I built in the original MY PRIME - it actually dilutes your effort by providing too many answers.

    Some Key Points About Reports[/Components
    1. Every report should serve a single purpose!
    2. You have SIX FIELDS to ANSWER ONE QUESTION.
    3. Decide on the question ahead of time, then build the report that answers that question only.
    4. The report YOU design should lead you to THE ANSWER you seek.
    5. If you need multiple reports to answer a single question, you are probably over-complicating things.
    6. You may need to tinker with the order of the fields on a report - comparing different configurations.

    Looking Deeper
    • Perhaps build a list of questions ahead of time.
    • Then prioritize those questions and build them top-down.
    • Remember that you should have a short list of components but they should all work towards your chosen end.
    • Build your own "Prime Report" and test it across some back races.
    • Do not test it across 47 different kinds of races.
    • Instead, test against (say) Non-Maiden Races, Older, Fast Tracks.
    • Do this before build a whole stable of reports.
    • You can build 2 or 3 versions of the same report and do a little simple data study.

    Final word: Keep this as simple as possible.
