Copying drawers between data locations

You can copy FileCabinet CS drawers from one data location to another. This process converts drawer data to match the format of the data location in either an Standard (flat files) format, or SQL (database) format.

    .
  2. Select the destination location of the drawer from the drop-down list in the
    Destination location
     field.
  3. Select the appropriate items in the
    Drawers available to copy
     pane.

    • The
      Automatically create folders
       checkbox is marked by default. Clear this checkbox if you do not want FileCabinet CS to automatically duplicate user-created folders in the destination location.
    • Mark the
      Enable application lock during copy process
       checkbox to prevent others from making drawer modifications while you are copying drawers.
    • Mark the
      Copy documents from selected folders only
       checkbox or
      Move documents from selected folders only

      Copying or moving documents from selected folders overwrites all data in destination drawers that correspond with the drawers that are selected.
