The ability to copy container structure - create as virtual container

We often need to create huge sets of folders for O&M's which we then have to create individually from each folder. It would be amazing if this copy function would work folder- virtual folder.

    Thanks Daniel, that's exactly what I mean. I'd like it where you could do 'Create as' but for that whole structure, not just the parent container because then we need to repeat the process for each container underneath. I'm have faith Viewpoint will do it one day, we can only ask :)

    Hi Shannon, I'm afraid if you mean that you'd like to copy and convert a set of yellow doc containers into a blue/green virtual containers, then you are correct in saying that this is not currently possible. This is due to virtual containers behaving more like an item than a container and as such are not compatible with each other.
