Reusing Objects in Another Configuration

You can reuse earlier created chapters, sections, and display objects (charts and tables). For this purpose, you can select and copy or move the desired objects.

To copy and move chapters, sections, and display objects

1. In the Configuration Creator, click Configurations.

2. Click Open.
   

3. In the Config Search window, you have the following options to find the objects that you want to copy or move:
   

   • To navigate to the desired object, expand the tree view by clicking the arrows on the left.
   • To search an object by its name, type text in the Filter... text field at the top of the window.
   • To search for a specific type of object, use the quick filter buttons below the text field.

4. Select the checkbox next to the desired objects.

   All child objects are automatically selected.

5. In the middle of the window, click Add.

   The objects are displayed in the preview on the right. This preview shows the currently open configuration with the appended objects from the template on the left.

6. If you want to change an object's position, drag and drop the object to another location in the preview.

   The future position is indicated by a blue line. Note that objects can only be moved if the new position adheres to the correct structure (chapter, section, and display object).

7. If you want to change your selection, select the checkbox of the specific object in the preview and click Remove.

8. To confirm your selection, click Apply.

   The selected objects are appended to the currently open configuration.
