Copying and Pasting a Component in a Flow Chart (Financial Management, Planning, and Essbase Block Storage Application Users Only)

When you a copy a component in a business rule or template's flow chart, you can paste it into a different location within the same business rule or template's flow chart, or paste it into the flow chart of a different business rule or template, if the business rule or template belongs to the same application type (that is, Financial Management, Planning, or Essbase).

  To copy and paste a component:

  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 component you want to copy and paste is in a business rule or template.

  2. Right-click the business rule or template, and select Open.

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

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

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