Copy Tag Data during Data Entry

Data may be copied from any other tag assigned to the same datasheet form type.

1. Click the Copy button on the Datasheet Data Entry window.

   The Copying Data to window is then displayed:

   

   The grid shows all fields associated with the datasheet as defined in the Datasheet Form Catalog Grid.

   Select a Tag or Catalog Instrument to Copy From	Select the tag from which data is to be copied from this list. Only tag numbers assigned to the same datasheet form type will be available for selection.
   Accept	Check the Accept checkbox for the fields to be copied.
   Note: To select all fields check the Accept All checkbox
   Show Process Data	Checking the Show Process Data checkbox displays the process data in the grid view.
   Field	The field name (as defined in the Datasheet Catalog).
   Existing Value	The current value of each field for the target tag.
   Proposed Value	The data about to be copied, if accepted, from the selected source tag, as chosen from the Select a Tag to Copy From list.

2. After all required fields values are selected, click Save to copy the data to the current tag, or Cancel to exit without copying the data.

Notes: Only fields associated with the datasheet are available to copy. Copying Instrument Index data such as Tag Number, Service, Line or Equipment Number or Datasheet title and Revision data is not possible with this feature.

If the selected tag or catalog instrument type is associated with a datasheet with a different form type from the tag or catalog instrument being copied to, a message is displayed to inform you of this and to give the option of keeping the existing datasheet or replacing it with a datasheet derived from the form type linked to the selected tag or catalog instrument.
