Copying mappings between charting schemes

At any level in the structure of a charting scheme, you can copy the definitions that it contains to another charting scheme. For example, you might want to reuse the all attribute classes that you've defined; or you might just want to copy a single property mapping between schemes.

Procedure

To copy any element from one charting scheme to another:

  1. In the Edit Charting Schemes window, use the navigation tree to select the element that you want to copy. Schema Designer supports copying any element beneath the top-level, charting scheme elements.

  2. Click Copy to to display the Copy To window, which contains a list of the charting schemes to which you can copy your definitions.

  3. Select the charting schemes that you want to copy the element to, and click OK.

    Note: The Copy To window indicates whether a definition exists in the target scheme for the entry you want to copy. Any existing definition in the selected charting scheme is overwritten.

Results

The definitions in the selected entry, along with all its child entries, are copied to the selected charting scheme. For example, if you select Entity Types in the navigation tree, all of the property and attribute mappings for all of the entity types are copied.
