Copying and Pasting a Fixed Loop Component (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

You can copy a fixed loop component from a rule or template and paste it into the same, or a different, rule or template. You cannot copy a fixed loop component and paste it into another fixed loop component or another component type.

  To copy and paste a fixed loop component from the Rule Designer or Template Designer:

  1. In the System View, expand the Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase application type, the application, the calculation type (for Financial Management), the plan type (for Planning), or the database (for Essbase), and Rules or Templates, depending on whether the fixed loop component is in a business rule or template.

  2. Open the rule or template that contains the fixed loop component you want to copy.

  3. In the Rule Designer or Template Designer, right-click the fixed loop component you want to copy in the flow chart, and select Copy.

  4. Do one of these tasks:

    • If you want to paste the fixed loop component into the same business rule or template, right-click the location where you want to paste it in the flow chart, and select Paste.

    • If you want to paste the fixed loop component into a different business rule, open the business rule into which you want to paste the component, right-click the location in the flow chart where you want to paste the fixed loop component, and select Paste.

  5. Select File, Save.
