Copying and moving data-entry rules

1. In the Project Explorer, select a study design (in a study only), study element, study event, form, section, or item.

   The editor for the study object appears in the workspace.

2. Select the Rules tab.
3. In the grid, select a rule.
4. Right-click the rule, and select Copy.
5. In the Project Explorer, select a study object onto which to copy the rule.
6. Right-click the study object and select Paste.

   The pasted data-entry rule appears in the grid, and the row containing the pasted data-entry rule is selected.

Note: You can also copy and paste a data-entry rule by holding down the Ctrl key, dragging the rule from the Rules tab, and dropping it onto a study object.

4. Right-click the rule, and select Cut.

   The data-entry rule is grayed out.

   Note: When you select Cut, the data-entry rule is not immediately deleted from its parent study object. The rule is only deleted when you paste it onto another study object. If you do not paste a cut rule, it remains associated with its original parent study object. This behavior is different from the cut and paste functionality that is used when you move a study object in the Project Explorer. In the Project Explorer, when you cut a study object, it is immediately deleted from its parent study object.

6. Right-click the study object and select Paste.

   The data-entry rule is removed from the original study object on which it was created, the pasted data-entry rule appears in the grid, and the row containing the pasted data-entry rule is selected.

Note: You can also move a data-entry rule by dragging the rule from the Rules tab, and dropping it onto a study object without holding down the Ctrl key.
