Use the template library to copy configured processes from
one flowchart to another. A template contains one or more configured
processes and connections. Copying configured process boxes can save
time when you design complex flowcharts.
About this task
Due to certain limitations, you cannot use two separate
browser windows to copy configured processes from one flowchart to
another. Instead, use the following procedure.
Procedure
The best way to copy configured processes from one flowchart
to another is to use the template library:
- Open a flowchart for editing.
- Select processes in the flowchart.
You can
use Ctrl+Click or drag a selection box around
them, or use Ctrl+A to select all of the processes
in the flowchart.
-
Right-click any selected process box and select Copy to template
library.
- When prompted, enter a Name and Note to
help you identify the template later.
-
You can now paste the process boxes into any other flowchart, by choosing Paste from
template library from the right-click menu or by using Options > Stored
templates.
- As an alternative to using the template library, you can
perform the following steps:
- Select one or more processes.
- Use the Copy icon or Ctrl+C or the right-click menu
to copy the processes.
- Close the flowchart.
- Open another flowchart in edit mode.
- Paste the processes by clicking the Paste icon or using Ctrl+V or the right-click
menu.
