Copying a view to another project

You can copy views from one project to another. This is useful if you have set up a view in one project that you want to use in another project without having to set up the view's attributes, filter, sort/group and table again in the other project. When you copy a view from one project to another, you can specify whether associated objects, such as the view's filter, sort/group and table, are copied across to the destination project along with the view itself.

In order to copy a view from one project to another, both projects must be open in Asta Powerproject.

To copy a view from one project to another:

  1. Open the project that contains the view that you want to copy, and the project to which you want to copy the view.
  2. Within the project that contains the view that you want to copy, on the View tab, in the Views group, click the View dropdown and select More Views. The More Views dialog appears.
  3. Select the view that you want to copy and click Copy To. The Copy View to Project dialog appears.
  4. Select the project to which you want to copy the view that you selected on the More Views dialog in the Destination project field.
  5. Select the Copy associated filter, sort and tables check box to copy the filter, sort/group and table that have been applied to the view that you are copying to the destination project, or clear this check box to copy the view without these associated library objects.
  6. Select the Match missing object references by name check box to attempt to match any objects that are referred to by the view to objects in the destination project that have the same name, or clear the check box to revert any such references to default values.
  7. Select the Copy view annotations check box to copy any annotations that are attached to the view to the destination project, or clear the check box to copy the view without any such annotations.
  8. Select the Delete row and cell exceptions check box to delete any row and cell exceptions that have been applied to the view's spreadsheet table, or clear the check box to copy row and cell exceptions to the destination project.
  9. Click OK.

The selected view is copied to the destination project.
