FAQ

Does Copy View duplicate the data too?

1. No. It does not create a separate copy of the underlying data.
2. Copy View duplicates the display configuration of the view, such as filters, sorting, grouping, and field visibility.
3. The new view and the original view still display the same underlying data, so data changes are reflected in related views.

Can I use a copied view in another table?

1. No. The copied view works only inside the current table.
2. If you want a similar display in another table, create a new view in the target table and configure it there.
3. It is helpful to confirm the field structure of the target table before adjusting the new view.

If I change the original view later, will it affect the copied view?

1. After the copy is created, the original view and the new view still share the same underlying data.
2. Changes to the data itself are reflected in related views.
3. However, the filter, sorting, and grouping settings of each view can be adjusted separately, so the two views can keep different display styles.
