Using Editing Options

Real-Time Designer provides several tools that enable you to copy/paste or move elements within the same Boolean Statement Editor or Action Editor or to another rule.

Cut, Copy, and Paste

The Copy and Paste tools in the Boolean Statement and Action Editors enable you to copy/paste selected items between different Action Editors or between different instances of the same Action Editor. For example, you can select a rule in Action Editor A and then paste it into Action Editor B.

When copying, the following restrictions apply:

Only full statements can be copied, meaning the entire Assign <Value> into <Parameter> instruction must be copied and not only part of it. For example, if you select a For Each statement, all the statements within the For Each statement are copied.

Copying between the Boolean Statement Editor and the Action Editor is not permitted.

You cannot copy from more than one Action Editor at a time.

Any number of statements can be selected for copy/cut operations. You can use standard Windows options to select multiple items simultaneously, such as the Ctrl and Shift keys. You can also use Ctr+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to perform standard cut, copy and paste operations, respectively. In addition, right-click options are also available for performing these operations plus for the Move Up/Move Down operations.

Move Up/Move Down

The Move Up /Move Down tools are only available in the Action Editor.

To move an instruction up or down in the Action Editor:

Select one or more rows and click Move Up or Move Down . Real-Time Designer automatically moves all selected rows accordingly.
