Once an action is configured, it can be copied and pasted into other task lists within that life cycle, or any other life cycle, to which you have been given configuration rights.
Note:
Actions cannot be copied in one repository and pasted to another repository.
Note:
Actions cannot be copied from a Unity life cycle and pasted to a standard life cycle. In addition, actions cannot be copied from a standard document life cycle to a Unity life cycle that routes items other than documents.
To copy and paste an action:
- Right-click on an action and select Copy.
- Select the task list to receive the configured action, right-click and select Paste.
- The Paste Options dialog box is displayed. Select Paste existing item if you want to share the action and its settings. Select Paste a copy of the item if you want to create a copy of the action, but not maintain a link to the original action. Changes to the original action will not affect the new copy of the action and vice versa.
When creating a new action, if the same name is used for an action that is the same as an existing action, the existing action will be used. The following is an example of an action that is used in multiple places with Workflow.
