Copy items from another hierarchy

The Copy From tool is used to copy items between hierarchies:

  1. Select the consolidation node into which you want to copy items.
  2. Right-click on it and select Copy From.
  3. In the Copy From window, select the items you want to copy.
  4. Since all nodes should have different names, select a new name option: 
    • Add sequence number automatically adds a number at the end of the name, which increases every time you copy that item; for example, Africa(1) or North Sea(3).
    • Add prefix allows you to specify a prefix for the new name. For example, if you copy a project named Africa and type New_ here, the copied project will be named New_Africa.
    • Add suffix allows you to specify a suffix for the new name. For example, if you copy a project named Africa and type 2008 here, the copied project will be named Africa2008.
  5. You also have an option to overwrite any comments and attachments that the destination node has, if the copied node has the same name.
  6. If you are copying projects linked to other documents, you can save information about broken links in a log file by checking the corresponding box.
  7. Click OK to copy the items.

Note: When copying is in progress, both the source and the destination hierarchies are locked. The Unlock button will be displayed in the Manage Hierarchy window (to open it, select <Manage Hierarchies...> from the drop-down list in the Hierarchy Explorer).
