I've looked through the forums and looked through the docs and have come up empty.

It makes no sense to me that the "Copy Item" icon is showing up in template view, yet I can't for the life of me find the DMX setting that would affect its visibility. Where is it?

I can create a local copy of the default system template easy enough, yet for the life of me can't find the DMX setting to specify using this revised template that is in /Portal/id/DMX/ViewTemplates folder. Where is it?

It seems to me that the way DMX used to work was having a set of folders that corresponded to DMX module id, but with the current version I don't see these folders getting created. Where are they?

Hi Eric,

"Copy Item" icon: it is in the template. You'll find it in entry.html as a link.

DMX setting to specify using this revised template: go to "edit templates" at the bottom of the screen.

"It seems to me that the way DMX used to work was having a set of folders that corresponded to DMX module id": this doesn't sound familiar to me. DMX manages one folder/document tree per portal (see getting started manual). You set each module to point to a specific place. It has always been like this. Since version 1.

Thanks Peter - Edit Templates was hiding in plain sight. That's what I was trying to find!

A consideration (if you agree of course) is to have the COPY icon's visibility hooked to the same logic that drives the visibility of the EDIT icon. What stumped me a little was that the COPY icon appears for a user even when the user is restricted to only being able to view a library item. In other words, I don't see how it's of any use to them because they don't have the right to edit or delete, but are given the default ability to copy.

You're right, Eric. I'll make a note.
