4.6.5 Copying the Details of a Record

Very often, you may have to enter into a table a record that closely resembles an existing record. In such a case, you can copy the details of the record that has already been defined. You can then change the attributes that are different for the new record.

At the ‘Summary View’ or the ‘Detailed View’ screen of the table, click Copy icon when the record you want to copy is highlighted. The input screen for the table will be displayed with all the details except those in the key field(s). Enter the appropriate value(s) in the key field(s) that are applicable for the new record you are defining. You can change the input in any field. The validations that are done when you are defining a new record will be done for the fields you change. Save the new record by clicking Save icon.
