Copying components
You can make a copy of any component in the Configuration Components pane, with the only exception
being Documents (of which you can only have one copy). Copying components is done using the same
methods as moving them, with the following differences:
l To move components using the clipboard buttons and contextual menu, replace "Cut"by "Copy".
Otherwise the methods are the same.
l To move components using the keyboard shortcuts, replace "CTRL+X"by "CTRL+C". Otherwise the
method is the same.
Moving and Copying Details:
l When moving configuration components, a horizontal line appears where the component will be
dropped if the location is valid. At the end of this line will be small "dents". If thesedents are on top of
the line, the component will be placed at the same level (group)as the component before it. If the dents
are at the bottom, the component will be placed at the same level (group)as the component after it.
l
If you move an object in the Configuration Components pane on top of a group, the group name
turns maroon (in the default color scheme)to indicate the object will be moved in the group after all the
existing objects currently in that group.
l Moving a configuration component does not change the order in which the components are used.
However they can affect your process if, for example, you move a local variable from one process to
another and the local variable is still used in the first process.
l You can also copy multiple components by selecting more than one then using the methods described
above. However, you can only select multiple components from within the same folder. You cannot, for
example, select a subprocess along with a Process and move them together. Also, you cannot select
multiple components if they are not in the same group or if one is in a group and the other is not.
l
You can also copy and move groups that have been created in the Configuration Components
pane.
l Dropping documents onto printer queues does not move the documents, but rather assigns them to
these queues (see "PlanetPress Workflow Printer Queues" on page 57).
Rename Objects in the Configuration Components Pane
You can rename processes, groups, and printer queues in the Configuration Components pane.
PlanetPress Connect Documents (ptk/ptz files) are different and cannot be renamed or modified using
PlanetPress Workflow. You can, on the other hand, change the name of printer-resident documents.
