8.1 Copying

Use the following procedure to make a copy:

Click the tab for the item that you want to copy. For example, to copy a role, click the Roles tab.
In the Name column on the left panel, select the item that you want to copy.
Click the Copy icon.

A copy of the selected item is added in the Name column of the left panel.

A name is assigned to the new item in the form "Copy of <item name>". An equivalent phrase is applied to any translations that have been created for the copied item. To change the assigned name, use the procedure in Section 8.2, "Renaming Contexts, Roles, or Context Templates".

8.2 Renaming Contexts, Roles, or Context Templates

Use the following procedure to rename a context, role, or context template:

Click the tab for the item that you want to rename. For example, to rename a role, click the Roles tab.
Click the Translations tab.
Select the language for the name that you want to change. (There may be only one language.)
Select the Edit icon.
Enter the new name and close the dialog.
To apply the new name, click the Apply icon in the top right of the page. (This last step is necessary only for roles and context templates.)
Click the Refresh button to insure that the changed name is reflected correctly in the list.

8.3 Changing a Description

Use the following procedure to change the description of a context, role, or context template:

Click the tab for the item whose description you want to change. For example, to change the description of a role, click the Roles tab.
Click the Translations tab.
Select the language for the description that you want to change. (There may be only one language.)
Select the Edit icon.
Enter the new description and close the dialog.
To apply the new description, click the Apply icon in the top right of the page. (This last step is necessary only for roles and context templates.)

8.4 Adding, Changing, or Deleting Labels in Alternative Languages

Oracle IRM Server supports labeling in multiple languages. This feature allows global enterprises to share domains, context templates, roles, and contexts across regions. Users from different regions can work within the same contexts: they will be presented with names and descriptions in their own language.

Use the following procedure to add, change, or delete names and descriptions in alternative languages:

Select the tab for the item whose labels you want to change. For example, to change the labels of a role, click the Roles tab.
Select the item whose labels you want to change.
Select the Translations tab.
Do one of the following:
- To add new labels, select the New Translation icon, select the language, then add the label details to the dialog.
  
  If the New Translation icon is not available, translation support has not been set up on the Control Console. See Section 1.3.2, "Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console ("The Control Console")".
- To change existing labels, select the language, select the Edit icon, then change the details in the dialog.
- To delete labels, select the language, select the Remove icon, then respond to the confirmation dialog.
To apply the changes, click the Apply icon in the top right of the page. (This last step is necessary only for roles and context templates.)

8.5 Reordering Items Listed in Tables

Items listed in tables, such as languages on the Translations tab, can be sorted in descending or ascending order. If a column was the last to be sorted, a Sort Ascending icon and a Sort Descending icon are shown in the column heading. The filled icon shows which sort order is currently applied. If a column was not the last to be sorted, no icons are shown in its header. If none of the columns have been sorted, no icons are shown in any of the headers.

Use the following procedure to change the current order of items in a column:

Hover the mouse pointer in the column header to make the Sort Ascending and Sort Descending icons appear (if they are not already shown), then select either the Sort Ascending icon or the Sort Descending icon.

8.6 Updating Lists

Use the following procedure to update the list of items in the left panel:

In the toolbar at the top of the left panel, select the Refresh icon.

8.7 Deleting

There may be circumstances in which you cannot delete an item. For example, you cannot delete a role if it is in use (that is, if it is currently assigned to a user).

The following is the general procedure for deleting something:

In the list in the left panel, select the item that you want to delete.
Select the Delete icon.
In the confirmation dialog, confirm that you want to delete the item.
