Calc-use processing chain defined in workspace for other survey

Dear OF Team,

when importing data from an OF Collect Survey to a different survey (of the same structure) using the .collect-data format, we can rename the collect-data file to .zip, and change the the meta data stored under info.properties to harmonize survey names and re-import.

Is there a way to apply a similar workaround to workspaces in OF Calc? I need to duplicate a workspace and run the entire processing chain with a different (cycle 2 inventory) data set. For visualization and reporting, I want to access the resulting DB in PostgreSQL under a different name. How is it possible to use a workspace for a different OF Collect survey than the one it was initially based on, without having to manually migrate sampling design, scripts, external data, etc?

If you could help or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

Best regards, Alex

Hello Alex,

unfortunately there is no shortcut to apply that workspace for another survey.

Maybe, and just maybe, you could take a back-up of Calc database (via pgAdmin), delete you old workspace and recreate it by importing collect-data (with the same survey name as previous time), and then importing the workspace.

Hi Lauri,

thank you for your quick answer! I was considering that approach before (duplicate in pgAdmin), but insecure if I had not missed another option. I will try that, hoping that it works, maybe. :)

Best regards, Alex
