Standard "integrated" copy function for e.g., Versions, Scenarios etc.

Atilla Özbey

Hi all,

it would be great to have a integrated copy function.

Use Case: During a planning cycle we want to copy a Version 1 into a Version 2 (Entity in a Cube). Therefore, we have to create a procedure, define temporary cubes without the entity Version, add for nearly each cube a step with temporary cube not dimensioned with the entity Version (storing the cube values), and again all steps from before to write the content into the new (selected) Version.

Idea: Since we do know on which entity we want the have the transfer, it would be very cool if we could select related entity e.g., Version. As a next step, we would define the "Source" and the "Target". Finally, we would get a list of all cubes having that entity to perform a selection (selecting cubes which are relevant). It could look like this:

This could also apply to "Clear Cubes" where we could select cubes based on a Admin-Cube or directly in the procedure e.g., drop-down menu with multiple selection.

Feel free to reach out if you want to go more in details :)

Kind regards,

Atilla

Hi Atilla

Just wanted to record the exact same idea when I stumbled across your idea. This feature would be really great!

Great Idea!

That would be really helpful for almost each planning project

Thanks for sharing this idea. That would be greatly useful for makers, that so far have to create a temporary cube for each planning cube without the scenario/version as already mentioned, and mostly maintain this procedure every time a new planning cube structured by version/scenario is added.
A standard function can help to save time, maybe with a dedicated section of standard entity (the same for time dimension) with a pre defined and optimized sparsity management

Great idea would really be helpful during the planning exercises
