TM1 Forum

Am I (and everyone else trying to use TM1 in my organization) going nuts, or can you really not copy/paste into cube views over the web?

Right clicking in a web cube view only shows "Data Spread and Holds". No copy or paste. Same results in IE and Firefox.

Is this behavior normal?

Thanks,

That corresponds to what I see in the screenshots in the 9.4 User Manual; copy and paste don't appear to be on the context menu. However if I recall correctly (our Web is off line for the next week or so and I can't test it right now) the [Ctrl]+[C] and [Ctrl]+[V] keyboard combinations still work. (I have to admit that I hadn't really noticed this before (or if I did, hadn't paid attention to it) because I never use the context menu for copying and pasting anyway.)

Well unfortunately, it doesn't look like the shortcuts work either (at least in 9.4.1).

I looked at the code in scripts/tm1cubeviewermain.js and I could find no routines for dealing with copy/paste unlike in tm1webbook.js which has rountines. There do appear to be routines for shift-key movement (i.e. multiple selection) but I'm unable to highlight multiple areas.

This is an unbelievable shortcoming if true. The single cell copy/paste restriction in Excel is bad enough, but to not support even copy/paste in a basic grid type input interface is beyond comprehension.

Can anyone confirm if things have improved on this front in 9.5?

Anyhow, thanks for your response Alan.

IBM has added the Copy/Paste feature in TM1Web Version 9.5
