Using Clipboard Content
You can paste copied product options to the clipboard by clicking the paste icon
.
There are also locations in the system where you can use copied content from the clipboard without clicking the paste icon
, such as the creation of a BOM from a copied BOM. Using this copied content to create a new object allows you to select from a menu.
Using the Paste Icon
From the product to which you want to copy content, click the paste icon
to open the
Clipboard, which displays all copied product content. For any product option, the system displays both a
Description and a
Version, if applicable. By default, descriptions are displayed as the product name followed by the product option name.
The Clipboard also displays the name of the product to which you are pasting the copied content.
| If no content is copied for a specific product option, the option is still displayed, but the system does not list any content for that option. |
Select items to paste by selecting the corresponding checkbox. You can also select the All checkbox to select all of a particular product option, such as all sources, or all colorways. Selecting the All checkbox selects all checkboxes for that product option.
Relationship Types
From the Relationship Type menu, you can select a predefined relationship type, which is defined by your administrator using property settings. The relationship types available for selection from the clipboard depend on the product type that you are copying content to. Unlike selecting a relationship type when copying a product, selecting a relationship type from the clipboard does not select any product options. A selected relationship type only controls the attribute values for synchronized attributes. Synchronized attributes’ values are defined in a property setting.
When you have selected all the product options you want to copy, click Complete.
Selecting From a Menu
In cases where you can create new content from copied clipboard content, such as BOMs or specifications, you must select the copied content from a menu. The menu displays similar objects that are already on the clipboard. Select an item from this menu, and then click Initialize. The system creates a new instance of the object, using the copied content that you have specified.
