Duplicating Data From a Previous Record
To save time during data entry, you can duplicate data from a previous record if much of the data needs to be repeated in a new record.
To copy a field value from the previous record:
1. Enter a new record or query an existing record in your form.
2. Navigate to the field whose value you want to duplicate in the new record.
3. Choose Duplicate Field Above from the Edit menu to copy the field value from the previous record to the current record.
To copy all field values from the previous record (when available):
1. Enter a new record or query an existing record in your form.
2. Choose New Record from the Edit menu to insert a new record after the existing record.
3. Choose Duplicate Record Above from the Edit menu.
Attention: If your current block requires all records to be unique, the Duplicate Record Above menu item may not duplicate those fields that must be unique.
Also, the Duplicate Field Above and Duplicate Record Above menu items are not available if there is no previous record, that is, if you are currently on the first record of a block.
