Copying Attributes and Rules

Follow this procedure when you want to copy the attributes and/or their associated rules from one object type to another.

PRIVILEGES Manage Object Types

Only attributes that are not already defined for the destination object type will be copied.

Any attributes rules currently defined for the destination object type will be deleted before those for the source object type are copied. Also, attribute rules are defined in relationship to lifecycle rules and states; therefore, only those rules involving attributes and lifecycle states relevant to the object type will be copied.

To copy attributes and rules:

1. From the Object Types main window, select the object type to which you want to copy the attributes and/or rules in the navigation pane.

2. Click the Copy Attributes button in the content pane. The Copy Type Attributes dialog box appears.

3. Select the source product and object type that you want to copy from the Type lists.

4. Select the Copy Attribute Definitions check box and/or Copy Update Rules check box to specify which details you want to copy.

5. Click OK to copy the details.
