Copy data structures

• Transfer artefact menu
• Transfer process and notifications

The user can transfer (make a copy of) a given data structure artefact from one source (dataspace or external source) to another (except external source), by using the ‘Transfer’ icon (double arrows) .

The combination of the data structure artefact type and its triple identifier (ID, Agency ID and Version) must be unique within a dataspace. If there already exists a data structure artefact with the same combination, then the transfer (copy) will fail.

Transfer artefact menu

1. When the user selects Transfer artefact in the hambuger menu associated to a specific data structure artefact, he is given the choice between two options:

• Make a copy of only the selected artefact (without referenced structures)
• Make a copy of the selected data structure artefact AND all its associated referenced data structures (with referenced structures)

2. Once the option with or without referenced structures is selected, a second sub-menu (as shown above) will request the user to choose for a destination space to copy the data structure artefact.
   Note that the copy can only be performed in a different dataspace (the source space is only displayed in this feature as a reminder of the source).

3. After having selected the destination space, the copy is launched.

Transfer process and notifications

1. When the copy of the data structure artefact is performing, a spinner with a copied artefact icon followed by the Updating message will appear on the screen.

2. Once the transfer process is complete,for successful transfer, two visual notifications are displayed:

• The ‘Transfer’ icon in green color is displayed next to the hambuger menu related to the source data structure artefact;
• The new copy of the data structure artefact is also displayed below the source data structure artefact in the list; the ‘copied artefact’ icon is displayed next to the hamburger menu.

If the transfer process ends with warning or unsuccessful, then the ‘Transfer’ icon is displayed:

• Orange for warnings,
• Red for unsuccessful transfer.

3. A mouse over on the colored ‘Transfer’ icon will provide details over the outcome of the transfer action(s):

• with referenced structures and a successful copy

• without referenced structures and a successful copy

• transfer with already existing destination artefact, thus unsuccessful copy

• transfer with some already existing destination artefacts, thus warning notification mentioningthat some artefacts were created while some were already available.
