Copying, cutting, pasting

Elements of a deci­sion ta­ble can be copied to clip­board and are then available for further use.

Copying and cutting

Select the row, column or cell to be copied.

There are several possibilities of copying or cutting selected elements:

Using the menu bar

  • Select Cut or Copy from the Edit menu.

Using the icon bar

  • In the icon bar click Cut 01 or Copy 02.

Using the context menu

  • Right-click and select Cut or Copy from the context menu.

Using keyboard shortcuts

  • The selected element is copied to clipboard using CTRL + C (Copy) or CTRL + X (Cut).

Pasting

Select the desired row or column before or after which it should be pasted, or select the cell into which it should be pasted.

There are several possibilities of pasting:

Using the menu bar

  • Select paste before or paste after from the Edit menu.

Using the icon bar

  • Click paste before 01 or paste after 02 in the icon bar.

Using the context menu

  • Right-click and select paste before or paste after from the context menu.

Using keyboard shortcuts

  • The content of clipboard is pasted after the selected section using CTRL + V whereas with CTRL +  SHIFT + V it is pasted before.

Important notes

  • De­pen­ding on whether there is a condition, action or rule in the clip­board, only the corresponding paste function is active.

  • Only elements of the same type can be pasted, e.g. if a rule is selected, only a rule (not a condition or action) can be pasted from clip­board.

  • Conditions, actions, condition values and action values can also be exchanged between deci­sion ta­bles via clip­board.

If condition or action values are pasted into a rule cell from clip­board and the next cell to the right is empty, the focus is automatically set to this next empty cell after pasting. Thus, multiple cells can be quickly filled with a value (e.g. simply by holding down CTRL + V ).
