The information in the tabs can be populated by copying the information from another tag and from a Catalog Instrument. Copied data may subsequently be amended as required.
To copy from another tag:
-
Click Copy Data. The Copying data to: window is displayed.

-
Using the drop-down list Select a Tag to Copy from:, select the appropriate tag. The information from the selected tag will be displayed in the Proposed Value column. If the proposed value matches the existing value it will be displayed in black, otherwise it will be displayed in red. You can choose which values to copy by checking the boxes in the Accept column. Checking the Accept All box checks all the boxes in the Accept column. Click Save to accept the selected proposed values.
