public views and personal views

Hi all,
is there anyway to copy a view from the public views's list in the personal views one?

I was just making a joke. I don't know what you mean by public view and private view. You will need to be more specific.

Ask a specific question and you will get a specific answer.

Yes,
when you work in Teamwork mode you have public views (views that everybody can reserve and work on) and personal views (views that can be used only by you).
When you have hundreds of public views in the navigator it's a nightmare to jump from a view to another because you waste a lot of time searching in the navigator ...
so it is preferable to shortlist some views and make them as personal ones.

And I was just wondering how to copy a public views to the list of personal ones.

Now with AC19 should be easier ...

Sorry am not familiar enough with TeamWork to answer your question.

This must be close to what your asking about.

I suppose you could keep Public and Private views in a separate folder. ?

Exactly
My question is "how to move/copy public views from publicviewsfolder to myviewsfolder?"

I am glad I was able to help clarify the question. Someone who knows will answer soon I hope. In the mean time I will see if I can figure it out. Also, if you figure it out be sure to post how you do it. Other TeamWork users will want to know as well.

Clone the Public Views folder ?

Switch form Public Views to My Views which is probably empty. Then click on the Clone folders tab and it will open a menu where you can choose the views you want. Something like that I think will work.

Sure I will
I'm glad in AC19 they introduced the tabbed views ... this will speed up the job a lot!

You could try one thing (I don't have TW running at the moments so I can't try it myself):

Open the Organizer along with the Navigator.
In the Navigator, display the View Map with Public Views.
In the Organizer, display the View Map with My Views (if it is possible for the Navigator and the Organizer to display these differently).
If it works then you will be able to drag-and-drop Views from one to the other.

I tried drag/drop but it doesn't work.

Then I don't have any other tips, unfortunately.

Thank you anyway.
Hope AC19 speeds up this part of the job

Works for me using just the Organizer.
"View Map: Public" on the left and "View Map: My Views" on the right.
Drag and Drop or "Copy Item>>>" button.
(Tested in AC15)
