Copy Existing Datasheet Definition

When creating a new catalogue datasheet form definition, users can copy any existing form definition by clicking the Copy Definition button on the Add a New Datasheet Definition window.

The Copy an Existing Datasheet form definition window is then displayed.

The window lists the existing Catalogue Datasheet form definition in the project.

To copy an existing form definition, double-click on the form record in the window above, or select it and click Copy.

If required form definitions may be copied from a different project. Click Select a Project. The Select an AVEVA Electrical Project window is then displayed. Select the required project from the list of projects listed in this window. The Copy an Existing Datasheet form definition window then displays the form definition in that project. Select the required form definition as described above.

Note:
AVEVA Electrical also provides facilities to import multiple form types from another AVEVA Electrical project. Refer to Import Catalogue Datasheets From Other Project for further details.

After selecting the form type, the window is closed and the Catalogue Information window is displayed again. When that window is saved, the existing form definition is copied, including the Excel file and field to cell mappings (DataLinks).
