pacx view replicate - neronotte/Greg.Xrm.Command GitHub Wiki

Replicates the structure (layout and sort order) of a given view.

Usage

The current command replicates the behavior of the famous ViewLayoutReplicator tool from XrmToolbox (kudos to Tanguy Touzard).

You can simply type:

pacx view replicate -n "My View" -t greg_table

This will replicate the view named My View from the table greg_table to all other saved queries belonging to the same table, except for the lookup views. This default behavior is driven by the fact that changing the structure of the lookup views may generate unexpected behaviors on the lookup control.

If you want to override this default behavior you can type:

pacx view replicate -n "My View" -t greg_table -o *

This will replicate the view named My View from the table greg_table to all other saved queries, including lookup views.

Seamlessly, if you want to replicate the view only onto a specific view or set of views, you can type:

pacx view replicate -n "My View" -t greg_table -o "View 1,View 2,View 3"

Separating the view names via comma (,).
