4.1 Copying a Version
You copy an existing version to modify it. To minimize the amount of modifications, you should choose a version that is similar to the one that you want to create.
You can copy and revise any version that does not have User Exclusive security set up for medium-to-full or full security. In addition, you can copy and run any version that does not have full security. FASTR provides you with DEMO versions that you can copy and revise to suit your needs.
When you copy a version, you can choose the forms you need to work with to revise the version. As you complete each screen, press Enter to proceed to the next screen. If you need to return to the previous screen, press F12. To return to the versions list on Financial Statements, press F3 at any time.
