MicroStrategy ONE
How to Copy an Object
As part of organizing your folders and other objects in a project, you can copy reports, documents, filters, prompts, folders, and other objects.
For steps to create a shortcut reference to an object rather than creating an actual copy, see How to Create a Shortcut to an Object.
DHTML must be enabled. See How to Enable DHTML in MicroStrategy Web.
- Browse to the folder that contains the object that you want to copy.
- Right-click the object to copy and select Copy.
- Browse to
the folder in which you want to save the object. You can create a
new folder to save the object in, as described below:
- Click the Create New Folder icon .
- In the Folder field, enter a unique name for the folder.
- In the Description field, enter a description for your folder.
- Click Create Folder.
- Enter a Name and Description for the new object.
-
If you are saving a copy of the object and translations are available for the object's name in other languages, those translations are discarded by default.
If you choose to keep the translated names, the translations for the original object will be duplicated and saved with your copy. As a result, both the original object and the new copy will be displayed with identical names when viewed by users working in one of the other languages. To keep the translations, select the Copy names from all other languages checkbox. Leave this unchecked to discard the translations.
- Click OK.
