Hey Guys,

I need to rebuild a bunch of dataviews in the transition to the web client. 

In order to save a bunch of time I am wondering if there is a way to copy all the formatting settings (Column width, position, font size etc)
from an existing dataview in the web client. 


Thanks,

Dylan Fitzmaurice

    Dear @Dylan Dylan,
    unluckily that feature is not available in the WEB environment.

    It would be great if you open an "Idea", asking for an enhancement, in the dedicated section:

    Hi,
    as a workaround, you can copy the dataview itself (the object) and then adapt the layout by copy/paste from your original object.
    In terms of improvements, for sure having this option would be nice. 

    Also to help maintain visual consistency, defining a default and / or a selectable "style" for dataviews (with all colors, fonts, etc) would be nice.
