Copy-VmsView¶
SYNOPSIS¶
Copies one or more XProtect Smart Client views to a destination view group.
SYNTAX¶
Copy-VmsView [-View] <View[]> [-DestinationViewGroup] <ViewGroup> [-Force] [-PassThru] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Copies one or more XProtect Smart Client views to a destination view group. The elements copied include the name, description, layout, and all view item definitions.
REQUIREMENTS
- Requires VMS connection and will attempt to connect automatically
- Requires VMS version 21.1
EXAMPLES¶
Example 1¶
Connect-ManagementServer -ShowDialog -AcceptEula
$viewGroup = Get-VmsViewGroup | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single
$view = $viewGroup | Get-VmsViewGroup -Recurse | Get-VmsView | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single
$newViewGroup = New-VmsViewGroup -Name 'MilestonePSTools' -Force | New-VmsViewGroup -Name 'Example 1' -Force
$view | Copy-VmsView -Destination $newViewGroup -PassThru
After ensuring there is an open connection to the Management Server, we retrieve a list of top-level view groups. After selecting view group, a list of views in that view group are presented.
Once a view is selected, a new view group named 'MilestonePSTools' with a subgroup named 'Example 1' is created. A copy of the selected view is then placed in the new subgroup under the new top-level group 'MilestonePSTools'.
