Specifying Product Options Available for Copy

The system allows you to copy and paste certain product options to and from the clipboard. A property setting controls whether an option can be copied to the clipboard. You can copy and paste the following product options to and from the clipboard out-of-the-box.

• Bills of Labor

• Bills of Materials

• Colorways

• Constructions

• Cost Sheets

• Destinations

• Documents

• Image Pages

• Measurements

• Size Categories

• Sources

• Specifications

Out-of-the-Box Property Options

The values for all property settings to enable the copying and pasting of product options to and from the clipboard are set to true. The basic property setting to enable the copying and pasting of a product option to and from the clipboard is:

com.lcs.wc.clipboard.use<ProductOptionKey>=true

The table below outlines the product option, its key, and its out-of-the-box property setting.

Product Option	Product Option Key	Property Setting
Bills of Labor and Bills of Materials	BOM	com.lcs.wc.clipboard.useBOL=true com.lcs.wc.clipboard.useBOM=true
Colorways	CopySKUs	com.lcs.wc.clipboard.useCopySkus=true
Constructions	Construction	com.lcs.wc.clipboard.useConstruction=true
Cost Sheets	LCSCostSheet	com.lcs.wc.clipboard.useLCSCostSheet=true

Configuration of Product Options

To disable the ability to copy and paste product options to and from the clipboard, set the value of the property setting for that product option to false. The basic property setting to disable the copying and pasting of a product option to and from the clipboard is:

com.lcs.wc.clipboard.use<ProductOptionKey>=false

Use the property settings in the preceding table to disable the ability to copy and paste product options to and from the clipboard, replacing the true variable at the end of the property setting to false in each instance.

Clipboard Relationship Types

Any previously configured relationship type can be selected from the clipboard, as long as the property settings are configured correctly. The primary relationship type property setting that affects clipboard functionality is the one that controls which relationship types are available when copying to and from specific product types. You might have to enter additional property settings to account for additional product types.

If you create a relationship type strictly for use on the clipboard, then you must use all of the property settings listed previously to create that relationship type.

Relationship types that are defined as linked types are available from the clipboard, provided they have been configured properly; however, no link relationships are established when selecting them from the clipboard.

Out-of-the-Box Relationship Types

As with all relationship types, none are defined out-of-the-box.

Configuration of Relationship Types

Only those relationship types that are configured to be available for the product type that you are copying to are available for selection from the clipboard. Furthermore, the original product type specified in the property setting must be the same as the copied product type.

The system ignores the product type of the product options on the clipboard.

The example below further illustrates this concept:

jsp.product.CopyProduct.CopyRequests.Product\\Apparel\\Petite.Product\\Apparel\\Petite=Missy-Petite,Brand-Brand

If the above property setting were entered, then the Missy-Petite and Brand-Brand relationship types would be available for selection when pasting from the clipboard to a Petite product

Notice that the original product type, Product\\Apparel\\Petite, and the copied product type, Product\\Apparel\\Petite, are the same

Selecting a relationship type from the clipboard only controls the attribute transfer values; it does not control which product options are selected.

The following example, while a perfectly valid property setting, would not enable users to select the specified relationship types from the clipboard:

jsp.product.CopyProduct.CopyRequests.Product\\Apparel\\Missy.Product\\Apparel\\Petite=Missy-Petite,Brand-Brand

In the preceding example, because the original and copied product types do not match, the Missy-Petite and Brand-Brand relationship types are not available for selection from the clipboard.

If a property setting with the same original and copied product types is not entered for a particular product type, then no relationship types appear in the clipboard copy mode menu when copying to that product type.

For example, if you are copying product options from the clipboard to a product with the product type Product/Footwear/Childrens, and had not defined the property setting with Product\\Footwear\\Childrens as both the original and copied product types, then no relationship types would be available from the clipboard.
