How-to Guide
1. Create a dashboard copy
Entry path: Left-side table list → More Actions → Create Copy
- Open the target multi-dimensional table and find the dashboard that you want to copy in the left-side table list.
- Click the More Actions button next to the dashboard name.
- Select Create Copy from the drop-down menu.
- Wait while WPS creates a new dashboard copy that corresponds to the original structure and data.
- After the copy appears, right-click the copied dashboard name and select Rename to distinguish it from the original.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: A new dashboard copy appears in the left-side table list.
- Next action available: You can rename, open, and continue editing the copied dashboard.
- No side effect: The original dashboard remains in its original location.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If you select the wrong object, you may create a copy of a different dashboard, so confirm the name before you click.
- Environment note: If the content is syncing online, the copy may take a short time to appear.
2. Create a datasheet copy
Entry path: Left-side table list → More Actions → Create Copy
- Open the target multi-dimensional table and find the datasheet that you want to copy in the left-side table list.
- Click the More Actions button next to the datasheet name.
- Select Create Copy from the drop-down menu.
- To keep the structure and views without records, click Copy empty table and views only.
- To keep both structure and records, click Copy all content.
- Wait while WPS creates the new datasheet copy.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: A new datasheet copy appears in the left-side table list.
- Next action available: You can open the copy and continue editing fields, views, and records.
- No side effect: The original datasheet remains unchanged.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Make sure you choose the correct copy mode so the result matches your goal.
- Environment note: A full-content copy may take longer when the datasheet contains more records.
