Copy Dataset

Copying a dataset makes a new dataset from an existing one and leaves the original untouched. Open the dataset, then click the copy button at the top of its drawer.

#Options

• New Dataset Name – the name of the copy.
• Filter data before copying – leaves out the datapoints hidden by the filters you have set, so the copy contains only what the map currently shows.
• Trim data using selected blocks – keeps only the datapoints inside the blocks you select on the map. This is the usual way to cut a dataset down to an area of interest.

#Copying a collector dataset

A dataset that is fed by a data collector shows one more switch, Copy with collector:

• On – the copy gets its own collector with the same fields, so it stays editable in the mobile app. Every datapoint and its photos are copied; earlier edit history is not. Use this to start a new season from last season's map.
• Off – the copy is a static snapshot with no collector. It cannot be edited in the mobile app, and photos are not included.

Either way, the dataset you copied from is not affected.
