Copying an existing data view

You can create a data view by copying another data view. You cannot copy a linked data view. The new view initially has the same definition, attributes, and metrics as the original view. Studio also copies the attribute groups.

To copy an existing:

  1. Select Project Settings.
  2. Select Data Views.
  3. Identify the view you want to copy.
  4. In the Actions column, click the copy icon for the data view you want to copy.
    The Create View Definition dialog displays. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. By default, when you save a new view, it is automatically published. To not publish the new view automatically, deselect the Publish when saving check box.
  7. To validate the new view, click Validate.
  8. To save the new view, click Save.
