Creating a reference copy of a study object in a workflow diagram

You can create a reference copy of a study element, study event, or form in a workflow. A reference copy is a duplicate image of a study object in a diagram; it is not a new link to the study object in the Central Designer repository. In a workflow diagram with many study objects and connecting lines, you can use a reference copy of a study object to separate the tangle of connecting lines and make the workflow diagram less cluttered.

1. In the Project Explorer, select a study design (in a study only), study element, or study event.
2. Select the Workflow Diagram tab.
3. Right-click the study object in the workflow diagram, and select the Create Reference Copy command for the study element.
