New in version 6.4, TeamHeadquarters information can be copied and pasted, making it faster to create new projects and easier to implement templates for standard types of plans.
The Copy command is available on right-click menus, and on the Functions pull-down menu. It copies the unique identifier of the selected object to the system clipboard for eventual pasting (see Developer notes, below, for more information).
The Paste command is available on right-click menus, and on the Functions pull-down menu. If an object has been 'copied' to your clipboard, the Paste commend will initiate the process of creating a copy in the target location.
All of the major TeamHeadquarters object types can be copied and pasted.
When pasting,
it is worth noting that you can only paste into a location where that
type of object could normally be created. For
example, a 
project
can only be pasted into a 
Projects
Folder, or into your My
Projects folder. 
Tasks can be pasted
under other tasks,
or into a project's 
Tasks
Folder.
When pasting, a confirmation dialogue will present confirmation and/or options that are appropriate to the type object you are creating.
A simple example: Copy/Paste a 
Folder
A complex example: Copy/Paste a project
For application developers doing portal and report customizations, the Copy command can save time. When you are trying to target a specific Project, Queue, or Task in your code, it is worth knowing that Copy places the object's GUID on the clipboard for easy pasting into SQL queries, VB/C# code, or report filters.
