Introduction
The Clipboard menu feature provides an easy method for transferring items (row data) from one view to another. Items can also be copied between different projects. This feature can be used similarly to the copy and paste function that we are familiar with in most applications.
The Clipboard Menu Options
The features for the Clipboard can be found on the tool shelf under the Gear menu → Clipboard.
The individual options of the Clipboard menu are described in detail below.
Copy Selected
This menu option copies the items to the Clipboard that you have checked marked in the view. Either one row or multiple items can be copied. Once the items have been copied to the Clipboard in memory, the destination view has been navigated to, to allow pasting the items.
Note
The Clipboard has been built with the ability to copy and paste items from one project to another.
Add Selected
This menu option copies the items that have been check marked and adds them to the items that are already have on the Clipboard without wiping out what is on the Clipboard. This menu option is useful especially when navigating through different views to gather row data.
Paste Clipboard
This menu option pastes the items that have been stored in the Clipboard into the view.
Note
Regarding copying and pasting to another project and the History column: After pasting the contents of the Clipboard to the view, the latest History of the item’s check-ins will refer to the item under the original path where the files live. The paths will point to the item in the new project as soon as the first check-in transaction is completed for this item under the new project.
Show Clipboard Contents
This menu option opens up a pop up and displays the items that are currently stored in your Clipboard.
