Creating reports from an analysis in Amazon QuickSight
Paginated reports are created at the sheet level of an analysis in Amazon QuickSight. When you create a new analysis or a new sheet in an existing analysis, you choose whether to make the new sheet an Interactive dashboard or a Paginated report. This way, you can have analyses for interactive dashboards only, analyses for paginated reports only, or you can have an analysis that includes both interactive dashboards and paginated reports.
There are three ways to create a paginated report. You can create a new report from a new sheet in an analysis, you can duplicate an interactive sheet in a dashboard, or you can duplicate a paginated report that already exists. Use the procedures below to create a paginated report.
