- UNDO CHANGES
Picture this: you’ve spent hours perfecting your Mapline visualizations, only to realize you accidentally overwrote crucial elements. Talk about a nightmare!
Instead of starting from scratch, imagine effortlessly reverting back to the original version with just a few clicks. That’s the power of creating duplicate content in Mapline – it keeps your operations running smoothly and ensures you always have a backup in place.
UNDO CHANGES
In Mapline, there’s no built-in “undo” button to reverse changes. This is due in part to the versatility and flexibility of Mapline’s visualizations.
Certain elements, such as coverage areas or filters have a REMOVE button, but most changes in Mapline are permanent once applied.
To safeguard your work, it’s essential to duplicate your visualizations and crucial elements before making significant alterations. This creates a backup version, providing peace of mind and allowing you to revert back to the original if needed.
Pro Tip: Duplicate copies are also advisable when you have multiple team members using the same maps and visualizations. Creating a backup that you never share gives your team the freedom and flexibility to try new things, without risking your data.
CREATE BACKUPS
Creating duplicates of maps, datasets, views, reports, charts, dashboards, and forms is a breeze in Mapline. Simply right-click the item you want to copy, select DUPLICATE, and voila! You have an identical backup ready to go.
This capability ensures that you always have a safety net, preventing any accidental changes from causing disruptions to your workflow.
Pro Tip: Save time and duplicate multiple menu items at once! Just click next to the items you want to copy, right-click, and select DUPLICATE. This is a quick and efficient way to create backups of your most essential assets.
