SAVE AS & SAVE A COPY AS

GovClarity® Help > Documentation > Save As & Save a Copy As

GovClarity users now have an option to save layers via "Save As..." and "Save a Copy As..." options. With these option users can move layers to other folders and make copies of layers. These two options are available on the Markup Layers and any user-loaded layer.

One example of using this option is to create a Save As "revised" or "updated" version of the layer with a new layer/file name. Another example is to Save a Copy of a layer and save it to another folder such as the Shared folder for others to view

Save As

Save As saves the contents (markups/drawings or data) of the Layer. The newly saved layer is automatically available in the Layers list. If the Layer is removed from the list of active layers then the user can locate it by clicking on the More Layers button at the bottom of the Layers Panel.

To Save As

1) User must first have a Markup Layer in the Legend or a user-loaded layer from Data Loader's ability to import data/layers. Shown in the screen shot to the right are two user-loaded layers.
2) Click on the Options Icon on the Markup Layer. The Options menu will display, click Save As.
3) A Save As dialog box will appear, Select a Folder from the drop-down menu, enter in the new layer/file name.
  1. For a Markup Layer it is advised to save to the Drawing folder. The Drawing folder is a User-folder available to organize markup/drawing layers. However, it is not a requirement for a user to save to the Drawing folder




  2. For user-loaded layers imported in from Data Loader the user can choose a folder to save to.









  3. User = user folder. Only visible by user. Read and write permissions by user only.

  4. Drawing = user folder specifically to organize markup/drawing layers. Only visible by the user. Read and write permissions by user only.

  5. Share = share folder. Visible to all users in account. All users have read and write permissions.

  6. Production = account level folder. Visible to all users in account. Only Admin have permissions to write to folder. All users have read permissions of folder.

4) The newly created Save As layer is automatically added to the Legend and available to use.
5) For a Markup Layer, the newly created layer will now become the Target Layer as denoted by the Draw Tool icon next to the layer. User can now add new Markups from the Draw tool to this newly created layer.
