Copy/Duplicate strategy

[aelagha]

Hi NT support,

It would be nice and useful to add the capability to copy or duplicate a strategy in the Strategy Builder. This comes in handy to backup a strategy before unlocking it so you do not need to rebuild it all over again in case you throw away the edits. It is also useful for building different version of a given strategy without unlocking it.

Thanks,

Hello aelagha,

Thanks for your post.

Those are good ideas and in fact, can be done today.

When you open the strategy builder, on the "Create a new Strategy" page, click the drop-down that will show all created strategies. As you move the mouse down the list note that you have the options on each to "save as" or "remove". Use the save as function to create a copy (with a slightly different name).

Along with saving entire strategies, you can also save the Conditions or Actions of a set. Just right-mouse click in the conditions window and select "save as" to create a template that can be used in other strategies. In other strategies then, you can right mouse click in the condition window and select load, to load in any previously saved condition sets.

You can also do the same in the "do the following" section, "save as" and Load.

Within a strategy, you can copy and paste individual conditions or actions.

Within a strategy you can also duplicate a tab, right mouse click on the tab name and select "duplicate in new tab".
