Copy nodes
About this task
You can copy nodes in the Schema Layout
tab or in the Type Library tab using the following
procedures:
- Copy and paste a Child node
- Copy and paste a Sibling node
To copy and paste a Child node:
Pasting
a node as a child places the node inside the record or group you have
selected at the end of any existing children.
- Right-click the node you want to copy.
- Select Copy.
- Right-click the record or group that should be the parent of the node you are pasting.
- Select Paste As Child.
If you paste a node within the same record or group that you copied it from, the Flat File Schema Editor changes the name of the new node to copy_node-name.
To copy and paste a Sibling node:
Pasting
a node as a sibling places it directly above the node you have selected.
This option is not available for the root node.
- Right-click the node you want to copy.
- Select Copy.
- Right-click the node that should come directly after the node you are pasting.
- Select Paste As Sibling.
