Changes that occur to copied and pasted activities
- Status will be set to Not Started for the pasted activity.
- Actual Start Date and Actual Finish Date will be cleared.
- Links to BP Record, Record Status are not copied.
- Critical Path elements are recalculated.
- Copying an activity will not copy dependencies.
- Moving Summary Activities will automatically move all activities below the summary whether the summary is expanded or collapsed. If the activity is not a summary row, any corresponding summary tasks will be updated automatically to reflect any changes in start, finish, and duration. The Gantt Chart View will reflect the new ordering of activities without affecting dependencies.
Activities remain in the buffer until the next copy/cut or save. Allowed actions that do not empty the buffer are:
- Find
- Zoom In or Zoom Out
- Focus
- Opening the Activity Attribute Form without changing data.
If you perform any other actions before clicking Paste, the contents of the buffer are lost. A subsequent paste will not result in any action. Actions that empty the buffer are:
- All actions on the toolbar (Save, Add, Delete, Indent/Outdent, Gantt, Progress, Close Window)
- All actions under the File menu
- All actions under the Edit menu except Paste
- All actions under the View menu except Find
- Clicking into any editable cell or modifying dates via Gantt or the Activity Attribute Form.
