Overview
If you need to copy evidence within your portal or to another portal within the same account to share it with a specific group of people, you can easily do so by selecting the desired location. To provide greater control, a dropdown menu is now available to select the specific metadata you wish to copy with the evidence. This allows you to selectively copy relevant information along with the evidence. Additionally, as a member, you now have the ability to copy evidence to a hidden portal.
Note:
You cannot delete evidence during the copy process.
Publish and View Settings of the destination Portal are applied on the copied evidence.
You can also copy Single/Bulk Folder in EVCM product package in the similar way.
Roles & Permissions
Contributor+ users can copy the evidence within the portal, to other portals of the same account in which they are a member or to a Partner Agency.
Steps to Copy Evidence
Step I
- Go to Evidence Library
- Choose the video you want to copy and click on the overflow menu next to the video.
- Now select copy from the overflow menu.
Step II
Once you click on copy, a copy modal will be opened.
1. List of all the account portals that the user has editing rights for:
When copying content, the user can easily access a list of all the account portals in which they have editing rights. This can help them to quickly locate the source of the content they want to copy and ensure that they have the necessary permissions to access and copy it.
2. List of cases and folders within the selected portal:
When copying content, the user may need to navigate through different cases and folders to find the content they need. The list of cases and folders within the portal can help them to quickly locate the content and ensure that they are copying from the correct source.
3. A button to add hidden account portals that the user has editing rights for:
If the content the user wants to copy is stored in a hidden account portal, they can use the "Add Portal" button to reveal the portal and gain access to its content.
4. The ability to create new cases or folders:
When copying content, the user may want to create a new case or folder to store the copied content. This can help to keep the content organized and make it easier to find later. For example, the user may create a new folder for copied images or a new case for copied documents.
5. Sorting functionality:
If the user has copied a large amount of content, they may want to use the sorting functionality to organize it by Title or Most Recent. This can help them to quickly find the content they need and ensure that it is properly attributed.
6. A search function to find relevant folders and cases:
If the user is looking for specific content to copy, they can use the search function to find relevant folders and cases. This can save time and ensure that the user is only copying content that is relevant to their needs.
7. A filter function to sort cases and folders based on categories, status, format, and author:
Like sorting, the filter function can help the user to organize and find the content they need. For example, they may filter by author to find content from a specific source, or by format to find content in a particular file type.
8. A dropdown menu to select metadata:
When copying content, the user may need to include metadata such as keywords, tags, or descriptions. The dropdown menu can provide a list of predefined metadata options to choose from, making it easier to copy the selective metadata only.
