Copying a view definition

You can reuse an existing view definition by copying it within the application or to a different application or library. When you copy a view, the localized strings are also copied. However, the definitions such as records, associations, documents, processes, and rules used by the views are referenced from the source application. 

The following image describes how the objects are referenced after you copy the view to the target application or library:

Warning

Important

  • You can copy a view only if it has public-scoped objects. For more information, see Object-definition-scope.
  • You can view and select only those applications or libraries that you can access.

To copy a view definition

  2. Select the application or library that contains the view you want to copy.
  3. Click Views, select the view definition that you want to copy, and click Copy.

  4. In the Copy definition dialog box, enter the following details:

    • From Target application/library, select the target application or library where you want to copy the view.
    • In the Definition name field, type a name for the view definition.
