Copy view structure

Hi,

I want to copy selected documents (or all documents) from a view based on year 2007 to a view based on 2008.

I want to copy 5 specific fields because they make the structure of these views.

The rest of the fields should be empty.

Below is an example of the view structure, its quite complicated.

2007

Org

companyA

  • doc1
  • doc2
  • doc3
  • doc4

unitA.a

  • unitA.adoc1
  • unitA.adoc2
  • unitA.adoc3
  • unitA.adoc4

departmentA.a.a

  • departmentA.a.adoc1
  • departmentA.a.adoc2
  • departmentA.a.adoc3
  • departmentA.a.adoc4

the department, unit and company documents are linked to each other and to the Org document by UNID:s

Any Ideas to make it easy to copy all documents in a view to another view based on year?

Solution is in Notes client.

Regards,

R

What is your selection formula for the view?

SELECT ((year >= [2007-01-01] & year <= [2007-12-31])) for 2007and SELECT ((year >= [2008-01-01] & year <= [2008-12-31])) for 2008

You either have to change the selection formula to select all for 2007 & 2008 or change the year from 2007 to 2008 on the documents.

The documents are being selected based on the year. You can’t put 2007 documents into a 2008 view. If you copy the documents and change the year, you will have duplicate documents.

What are you trying to accomplish?

The documents in my application will be active in the current year, so I have made view for this year and view for 2008…I want to copy the structure of view 2007 to view 2008, I want to keep some fields that building the structure.

Of course I have to change the year from 2007 to 2008.

the new copied documents will be seen in 2008 view.

Thanks for your help!
