3306 Copying a template set using PointCentral

With PointCentral you have the ability to copy the configuration from one template set to another as a way to create a new set, or to update an existing one.

Select the Copy to New button for creating a new template set based off a previous configuration, or select the Copy to Existing button to copy from an existing template set to one or more destination template sets. With the latter you also have the option to delete all template files before copying when you want an exact duplicate of the source without any of the previous destination content.

To copy a template set configuration to a new template sets:

1. Log into the PointCentral Administration website.

2. Navigate to Template Sets > Add Templates Sets.

3. Enter the name of the new template set.

4. Click the arrow in the Copy From section and select which template set you want to copy from.

5. Once you have selected the template set you want to copy from, a window will pop up and let you choose what you want to copy from the original template set.

6. If you would like to copy the entire template set, leave the default selected and click Add Template Set. If you would like to choose what you want to copy from the new template set, place the radio dot next to Let me Choose, select the options you want to copy, and click Add Template Set.
7. Next, you will need to grant your Users or User Group access to the newly created Template Set.

To copy template set configuration to an existing template set:

1. Log in to the PointCentral Administration site.
2. Navigate to Configuration > Template Set Maintenance > Copy Template Set.

3. Use the Copy From dropdown on the Copy Template Set screen to select the template set you wish to copy existing files from.

4. Select the All Template Files radio button if you want to copy everything from one existing template set into any of the others.
5. To copy only specific template types, select the Let me choose radio button and either deselect the template types that are not to be copied, or click on the Unselect All "link," then click the check boxes for the types you do want copied.

6. Click the Delete Destination Template Files before copy check box to delete all previous files in the destination template.

Note: This will delete ALL files in the entire destination template set and force a rebuild.

If you wish to only rebuild your template sets after copy, select the Rebuild Template Set check box.
