Overview
PhixFlow provides the option for copying models and modelling objects in your current PhixFlow instance. Objects can be moved to a separate instance of PhixFlow via the Export facility.
Copy
Copying models and modelling objects within a single instance of PhixFlow:
- Option 1: Copy Multiple Objects in a Model
- Open any model and select the objects to copy.
- Right-click on the model canvas (not on the selected objects) and select Copy Selected Objects.
- Option 2: Copy Single Objects in a Model
- Right-click on any individual object and select Copy object from the menu.
- Option 3: Multiple Objects in different models
- Open the the Administration menu → Copy Configuration.
- Drag the required objects from the repository onto the Copy Configuration window.
- Click Copy Configuration when ready.
- Note: if you copy an analysis model it will only copy the model and not the modelling objects held within it.
Export
Objects are exported from one instance of PhixFlow to another via export, such as promoting changes from a development instance to a live instance. See Export Configuration for full details.
When an object is imported which is already in the target instance, the import process will overwrite the objects already in the target instance. If an entire application is imported that already exists in the target instance, anything which does not exist in the imported application will be permanently deleted.
