Article summary

Copying a Screen is particularly useful, for example, when you need to create Screens that use the same Objects but display different data, or when you want to preserve graphic customizations throughout your Capsule.

To create a copy of a Screen in the same Capsule or another one within your Board Platform, you need to activate Design mode within the Capsule of which holds the Screen you want to duplicate. Once Design mode is active, proceed as follows:

  1. In the left panel, right click over an already existing Screen and click "Save as"

  2. In the popup window, choose a name for the Screen copy and choose the Capsule you wish to save it in

    You can save the Screen copy in any existing Capsules, but you can't save it in a specific Screen folder within a Capsule. The Screen name can be any number of characters long and can include any Unicode characters except the following:\ / : * " < > | By default, the Data model associated with the Capsule, the Mask, and the Screen size will be the same as the existing Screen being duplicated. See Create a new Capsule for more details.

  3. Click "OK". The page will refresh and the newly copied Screen will appear in the tree diagram in the left panel, at the bottom of the Screen list.

To move a Screen to a different position, drag and drop it anywhere in the Screen list. Drop it on a Screen folder to move it to that folder. When you create a copy of a Screen, all selections applied to the the original Screen will be retained.
