Moving dialog box
Moving dialog box
When you move a selection of objects (by drag-and-drop or copy-paste) between two 4D databases or between a database and an object library, you have the possibility of displaying a dialog box that lists all the objects being moved as well as the actions that will be associated with them in the destination database.
Apart from these cases, if the moving of the objects does not cause any conflict, the moving dialog box will not appear and the objects will be copied directly. This dialog box allows you to view and/or modify the moving settings depending on the context. It includes two pages: the main page and the details page. You can switch between these pages using the Next> and <Back buttons. The main page displays the list of objects being moved: The objects that have a name conflict appear in bold and the dependent objects appear in italics. The different columns indicate the type and name of each object as well as, if necessary, its “new” name, i.e., its default name in the destination database. You can modify this name on the details page if desired (see the next section). If the default moving settings suit you, you can click directly on OK in order to proceed with the moving of the objects. Note: If any object has the Use another object action associated with it, you cannot validate the copy operation without first having specified the target object in the destination database (unless you deselect this object). If you want to modify certain actions, click on the Next> button so as to display the details page. If you want to cancel the moving of the objects, click on Cancel. The details page lists the objects to be copied (those that were left checked on the main page) and can be used to modify the moving settings: You can use the pop-up menu of the “Action” column to modify the actions carried out on the objects. The actions provided in the menu depend on the type of object selected and are described below. The “New Name or Other Object” column displays the name that will be attributed to the object once it is copied into the destination database. You can change this name (be careful not to use a name that already exists in the destination database since this would create a new name conflict). In the case of dependent objects, this column also lets you designate another object in the destination database (when the Use another object action is selected). For example, when moving a table form, you can designate a table in the destination database as the table it will belong to instead of creating the table. The following alternative actions are possible:
If dependent objects themselves reference other objects, the list is updated according to your settings. If the moving settings suit you, you can click on OK to proceed with the moving of the objects. Click on <Back to return to the main page. If you want to cancel the moving of the objects, click on Cancel. |
