To Make a Copy of a Modification Object
You can copy a modification object. This lets you create a new modification that is similar to an existing one in properties and/or relationships. During the copy process the system will ask for a new modification number followed by a display of all possible attribute and relationships which the user may/may not choose to copy. All field data (such as description, priority, etc.) will be copied into the details of the new modification.
- Open the modification object you want in the Content pane.
-
Click the Copy icon in the action bar.
The Copy Modification dialog opens.
If a mask exists for the number field, the system will assign the next available number. You can also enter the number or enter a mask and click the Auto Number icon to build a new modification / batch number. The system also displays all possible attributes and relationships that can be copied to the new modification.
- Accept or enter the number.
- Select the related properties and intrinsic relationships to copy.
-
Click Copy.
The new modification object's details display in the Content pane. Any updates to attributes or relationships can be done at this time.
