I am currently the owner of 40 custom reports.
We had an employee leave the company, and when I deleted his CenterVu ID, it prompted me to delete these reports or change owner. I elected to change the owner of the reports to myself. The person who took over the position would like to have control of these reports. Is there a way to giv another user control of all of the reports which I currently own under my user ID?
 
I don't believe that you can change the ownership. I would suggest that you just let him copy the reports. The only problem with this is that the names will have to be changed.
 
I was afraid that there was no easy way. I was hoping there would be some obscure UNIX command. The names are so hosed up that he is better off to just let me delete all of them and have him start fresh.
Thanks,
Chris
 
I found that you can change the owner of custom reports. You would highlight the report you want to change and go into properties. Change the owner to the new person's user id. It will ask if you want to make a copy of overwrite the existing. I just choose to overwrite. This is in version 9. I am not sure if that option is available in earlier versions.
