l Click on the new location where you want the component.
l Do CTRL+V(paste)on your keyboard.
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
thesedents 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 page69).
