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

If a component contains other components (that is, if there are components within the component), you can copy the group of components and paste it into another location within the same flow chart, or paste it into another flow chart.

  To copy and paste a component group in a flow chart:

  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 group 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 Rule Designer or Template Designer, right-click the component group you want to copy in the flow chart, and select Copy Group.

    Tip:

    You can also use Edit, Copy Group.

  4. Do one of these tasks:

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

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

  5. Select File, Save.
