CHAPTER 8 BASIC TASKBUILDER FUNCTIONS 91
Note
TaskBuilder does NOT allow actions that are missing a start or end component. Any
action that is left without a start or end component after a cut operation will be
deleted. Such actions are not copied to the clipboard and will not be pasted to the
destination task.
If elements are erroneously cut, it is recommended that you use the Undo function instead
of repasting the element; the undo method is more ecient and oen uses less memory.
You must be in the task window in which the operation was executed in order for it to be
undone.
Copying an Entire Task
TaskBuilder allows the you to make a copy of an entire task without using the copy/paste
method.
Use the steps below to copy an entire task:
1 Open the source task and select Save Task As… from the File menu. e Task Details
form will open and allow you to select a new name for the new task. e task name
must be unique.
2 Click Done and the current task will be saved to the database with all the components
and actions of the original. Changes made to the copy aer the Save Task As… opera-
tion will not aect the original task.
Note
If changes are made to the original task and then the Save Task As… feature is used,
those changes will be saved to only the new task. The old task will remain in the same
condition as it was when last loaded or saved. To save changes to the original task,
make sure to first click Save before using the Save Task As… feature. The system will
not warn you of this condition.
is operation can be useful in creating task templates. You can create a basic task template
with a name such as “DBTask_template” and then use Save Task As… to create individual
tasks with specic parameters.
