CHAPTER 8 BASIC TASKBUILDER FUNCTIONS

Copying Components or Actions

Elements can be copied and then pasted into the same task or into a different task. To copy

components or actions, first put TaskBuilder in Select mode by clicking the button on

the Mode toolbar. Then follow the steps below:
1 Select the desired element(s) using a single click or group select.
2 Click the button on the toolbar, select Copy from the Edit menu, or use the key-

board shortcut (Ctrl + C).

3 Switch to the destination task, if desired, by clicking on the appropriate tab.

4 Click the button on the toolbar, select Paste from the Edit menu, or use the key-

board shortcut (Ctrl +V).

The elements will be pasted to the destination task with the same properties as the original.

The elements can be pasted any number of times in other tasks, and they will remain on the

clipboard until another Cut or Copy operation is performed.

Note

New components will be pasted in the same location as the original(s), only with their
locations adjusted slightly, allowing you to visually differentiate the copies and the
originals.
