When inserting, you can decide whether all levels should be inserted recursively. It can also be decided whether the asset assignments and/or the node information fields should be copied. If configured, also role assignments will be copied. Alternatively, the structure can also be exported to an Excel file. #### Table of Contents - [Properties](#properties) - [Usage](#usage) - [Compatibility Matrix](#compatibility-matrix) - [Release Notes](#release-notes) ## Properties To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties ##### structureCopy.visibleForGroup > type: long, required: no, default: - restrict the use of the plugin to this user group ID (superadmins always see it in any case) ##### structureCopy.allowedForNodeTypes > type: list of long (comma-separated), required: no, default: - restrict the plugin to these node type IDs ##### structureCopy.license > type: String, **required: yes**, default: - License key (delivered by brix Solutions AG) ##### structureCopy.recursive.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: true Default value for the recursive checkbox ##### structureCopy.withRootNode.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: true Default value for the withRootNode checkbox ##### structureCopy.withAssignment.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: true Default value for the withAssignment checkbox ##### structureCopy.withInfofields.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: true Default value for the withInfofields checkbox ##### structureCopy.removeSource.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: false Default value for the removeSource checkbox ##### structureCopy.withNodeRefAssignment.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: false Default value for the withNodeRefAssignment checkbox ##### structureCopy.deltaMode.default > type: boolean, required: false, default: false Default value for the delta mode checkbox ##### structureCopy.copyAssets.enabled > type: boolean, required: false, default: false Enables the copy asset option to hard-copy assets ## Usage - Right-click on the root node of the structure you want to copy - Choose copy structure ![Copy](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/03.structure_copy/copy.png) - Right-click on the node you want to paste the copied structure - Choose paste structure ![Paste](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/03.structure_copy/paste.png) - Configure the paste-operation > - Recursive > - With root node > - With assignments > - With Node-Informationfields > - Remove Source Node - Choose paste to paste the node structure with the chosen options, - Or choose export to export the node structure to a csv, - Or choose forget to let "Structure Copy" forget the copied structure ![Options](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/03.structure_copy/options.png) - To display the scheduled, running and finished copy tasks, click on "Copy structure: progress" in the administration menu ![Options](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/03.structure_copy/admin.png)![Options](https://doc.brix.ch/user/pages/01.celum_extensions/03.structure_copy/progress.png) ## Compatibility Matrix | structureCopy | CELUM (min. version) | |---|---| | 1.0 - 1.3 | 5.12.2 | | 1.4 | 5.13.4 | | 1.10.0 | 6.4.0 (tested with 6.4) | | 1.12.0 | 6.20 | | 1.13.0 | 7.1 | ## Release Notes #### 1.0.0 > Released 2017-01-17 > > - Initial Version #### 1.1.0 > Released 2017-02-08 > > - Export mode added #### 1.1.1 > Released 2018-06-26 > > - CELUM 5.13.3 compatibility #### 1.2.3 > Released 2019-01-17 > > - Checkbox Default value config, license, write/delete permission check #### 1.3.0 > Released 2019-02-14 > > - Preview for Paste operation #### 1.4.0 > Released 2019-06-19 > > - Feedback when structure is copied > - Progress view for scheduled, running and finished tasks #### 1.4.5 > Released 2020-02-18 > > - CELUM 6.4 (19.10) compatible #### 1.5.0 > Released 2020-02-19 > > - Possibility to stop running tasks > - Overview over all running tasks for superadmins #### 1.5.1 > Released 2020-02-21 > > - Task log view > - Possibility to reset the plugin > - Export bugfixing #### 1.6 > Released 2020-03-12 > > - Possibility to deactivate the preview function #### 1.7 > Released 2021-01-21 > > - Possibility to copy or move the affected noderef assignments #### 1.8 > Released 2021-08-04 > > - Delta mode feature #### 1.10 > Released 2022-12-02 > > - Copy asset feature #### 1.11 > Released 2024-02-07 > > - Copy role assignments feature #### 1.12 > Released 2025-02-14 > > - Compatibility with CELUM 6.20 #### 1.12 > Released 2026-07-15 > > - Compatibility with CELUM 7.1 [ ](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/event_dispatcher) [](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/global_statistics) --- ## Navigation - Parent: [CELUM Extensions](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions.md) - Previous: [Event Dispatcher](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/event_dispatcher.md) - Next: [Global Statistics](https://doc.brix.ch/celum_extensions/global_statistics.md)
