Copying an existing view

You can create a view by copying another view. The new view initially has the same definition, attributes, and metrics as the original view. Studio also copies the attribute groups.

To create a view by copying an existing view:

  1. In the view list, in the Actions column, click the copy icon for the view you want to copy.
    The Create View Definition dialog is displayed. By default:
    • The view display name is "Copy of <copiedViewName>".
    • The view key in the view definition is set to "<copiedViewKeyName>Copy".
    • The view description and the rest of the view definition are identical to the copied view.

  2. Update the view name, description, view key, and definition as needed.

    Note that you cannot change the view key after you save the new view, so make sure you update the value before saving.

    Remember also that the view key must be NC-Name compliant.

  3. To validate the new view, click Validate.
  4. To save the new view, click Save.
