Grouping Objects

You add objects to the copy group in the Details form. From the Definition menu, select Copy Groups, then choose Copy Groups, and click the Copy Groups Details button.

The following rules control the objects you can add:

• Objects allowed in a copy group are DCMs, DCIs, procedures and view definitions.

• For DCMs, you specify whether to copy just the base subset or all subsets.

• All objects must be related to the included DCMs. Conversely, DCMs that are referenced by another object in the group cannot be removed from the group.

• Objects can only come from the study you are working in.

• Provisional and active objects can be added to a provisional copy group, but all objects must be active before a copy group can be made active.

• Objects are included in copy groups by reference. Changes to the underlying objects are reflected in the results of subsequent copy operations.

• Retired copy groups are not available for use and cannot be modified.
