You may need to track a similar artifact in multiple areas. Rather than entering the
same artifact twice, in different areas, you can copy or move an artifact to another project or
another artifact type within the same project.
You will be presented with an attribute mapping functionality to reconcile any
attributes that have values in the source artifact but do not exist in the destination project
or artifact type. Selecting the checkbox next to the attribute will copy or move the attribute
value into a comment.
To move or copy multiple artifacts at once, you must first conduct a
query that will return the artifacts you wish to move or copy. See How does search work? for help on building queries. You can move/copy all of
the resulting artifacts or select a subset to be moved or copied.
Note: To use the
Copy/move functionality, you must have permission to create artifacts in the destination
project.
-
Log in as a Domain Administrator and click the project from which you want to copy or
move an artifact.
-
Click the Project Tracker > Query Artifacts links. Enter the
Artifact ID in the search box on the top of the page or click the "My Artifacts
in this project" from the drop-down box placed next to the Artifact ID search
box.
-
Click the artifact which you would like to copy or move to some other project
-
Click Move Artifact or Copy
Artifact.
-
On the page displayed, you can select the list of destination projects where you would
like to copy or move the artifact and also specify the artifact type using the drop-down
box provided.
-

-
On the page displayed, enter the reason for the change in Reason for
change text box and click the Copy Artifact(s).
You are redirected to new artifact created. Click the History tab to view the changes.
Note: If you try to copy or move an artifact created in any one of the five languages
provided by CollabNet, that is; English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified and Chinese
Traditional, the history section of that artifact will display the changes made to the new
artifact created in the source language of that project. For example, if you create an
artifact, for example "S1" in a project that is using Japanese as the
project language and move or copy this artifact to a project that is using Korean as the
project language, the history section of the new artifact, for example
"S2" created will display the changes made to the artifact in the form of
an Old Value and New Value column in the source language of the project (Japanese) from
where the artifact is being copied or moved, even though the destination artifact belongs to
a project using Korean language.
