You can share a report definition as a report file (.rptx file) to share reports between projects or shared. A report file includes the report document view, any elements you added, a reference to its layer or data source, and a reference to any subreports or supplemental pages. The data is not included with the report file. If the data cannot be found in the expected location—for instance, if the data source is moved or the layer does not exist in the project—you must repair the data source from the Report Properties dialog box. Use the Share tab to access the commands for saving a report.
