Ability to clone dataset #168

Closed bharathkannansba closed 9 years ago

Most of the basic metadata information are similar across datasets and it would be nice to have a clone option that would make a copy of an existing dataset and allows th eusers to update them. Manual keying in the information over and over gain is time consuming.

@ykhadilkar-rei @philipashlock We can introduce a Clone button on the dataset page, which will copy the entire information except may be title, and description for users to enter and go through the dataset creation process.

@kvuppala @philipashlock I am guessing we do not want to clone resources. Is that correct?

kvuppala commented 9 years ago

@ykhadilkar-rei No need to clone resources, just the initial metadata page should be sufficient.

Some of the datasets within SBA are specific to geographical locations and categories. For example, list of certified small businesses by state would have 50 different datasets and the resource url would just differ for the state code - www.sba.gov/.../NY.xlsxhttp://www.sba.gov/.../NY.xlsx, www.sba.gov/.../CA.xlsxhttp://www.sba.gov/.../CA.xlsx etc. In such cases, it would be easier to have the resource cloned as well and make the minor changes to the URL and possibly the same for its description. If there is an option to cone with/without resource is provided, that would be useful.

This is just one example, but I could see other agencies have something similar as well. Just my 2 cents.

@bharathkannansba thank you for the feedback, we will look into the feasibility of cloning the resources

ykhadilkar commented 9 years ago

Deployed on production on 03/26. We are not cloning resources in this iteration. If required we can create separate issue for that.
