Copying and Pasting Steps
You can copy or cut steps and then paste them to another location within the step list or into another switching sheet. When you cut steps, they are marked as ‘cut' in the steps list and are copied into the clipboard. When you copy steps, they are copied to the clipboard, but the original steps are not marked or removed from the list.
The in-order step execution rules are not enforced when cutting and pasting steps. Switching steps that were previously completed can later be cut and pasted into any location within the step list. This also pertains to cutting and pasting steps from one sheet to another.
If you cut and paste steps from one sheet to another, the system determines which events have associations with these steps and automatically moves the corresponding event/sheet associations from the old sheet to the new sheet. If you attempt to move some but not all of the steps for an event, the system displays a confirmation dialog box indicating the affected events. If you confirm the action, then both the old sheet and the new sheet will have an association to the affected events. Any step moves that affect event associations are recorded in the audit log for tracking purposes.
Follow these steps to use the cut, copy, and paste functions:
1. Select the steps you want to cut or copy.
2. Click the Copy Steps or Cut Steps button (or right-click the selected steps and choose Copy or Cut from the context menu).
3. Select the step after which you want the steps inserted and click the Paste Steps button (or right-click the step and choose Paste from the context menu). Any cut steps are moved, and copied steps are duplicated.
Note: Once the step has been pasted, the Paste button is no longer available and the contents of the clipboard are cleared.
