How to Work with Data Files > Duplicating a Data File

Overview

Data Files can be duplicated to take advantage of a previously created structure.

To Duplicate a Data File

Step-by-step

1. Go to the "Data Files" module and select the desired file to duplicate.

2. Right-click it and select “Duplicate Data File” in the resulting menu.

3. This opens a "Duplicate Data File" window.

The “Source File” section is already filled in with the alias and name of the data file that was selected in the "Data File" module.

4. In the "File Alias" box, enter the alias of the new data file that results from the duplication.

5. Enter the name of the file in the "File Name" box.

6. If the file to be duplicated already has data and it is necessary for it to be duplicated into the new file, check the "Copy Data" option. Otherwise, only the structure of the data file will be duplicated.

7. Click to finish the duplication or to abort the operation.
