2.12.11 Copying and Pasting
Branch Gateway Manager supports the normal Windows methods of cutting, copying, pasting and deleting records and
settings. These can be accessed through the Edit menu in the menu bar or using the standard Windows keyboard
shortcuts for those actions. They can also be accessed by selecting a record or text field and then right-clicking.
Copy and paste can be used with the navigation and group panes to create a new record with the same settings as the
original. The copy will be renamed as Copy of ... to avoid conflicting with the original.
When using copy and paste between individual settings fields, whether on the same record or a different record, care
should be taken to ensure that the fields use the same type of data. Similarly copying a record in the navigation or group
pane and then pasting it into the details pane will prompt Branch Gateway Manager to paste the copied records data into
the first field of the current record in the details pane. As a general rule, cut and paste actions should be used with the
same pane and within similar record types.
For users and user rights, a number of controls have been provided to copy settings between a user and a user right or
vice versa. See User Rights Overview in the Configuration Settings section.
2.12.12 Saving a Configuration Offline
The system configuration settings shown within Branch Gateway Manager can be saved as a .cfg file on the Branch
Gateway Manager PC. These files can be used as backups or sent to other persons to aid problem diagnostics. Note
however that an offline configuration file does not include the Audit Trail records for the system.
Automatically Saving Sent Configurations
By default, Branch Gateway Manager creates a file copy of the configuration before it is sent to the system. This copy is
stored in Branch Gateway Manager's Working Directory using the system name and .cfg. This behavior is controlled by
the Backup File on Send (File | Preferences | Security) option.
The number of backups of each systems configuration can be limited to a set number of the most recent copies.
