Copying relationship and participant definitions
To create a new relationship definition that is similar
to an existing one, you can copy the existing definition and modify
it to suit your needs. You can also copy a participant definition
from a relationship definition and paste it into the same relationship
definition or into another one.
Steps for copying relationship definitions in the current project
To copy a relationship definition, perform the following
steps:
- Select the relationship definition you want to copy (for example,
CustToClient) and select Save Relationship Definition from the File menu.
- Select the relationship definition you want to copy and select
Copy from the Edit menu.
- Select the Project name (root tree node) and select Paste from
the Edit
menu.
Result: Relationship Designer Express creates
a new relationship definition with a name of Copy of CustToClient. The definition name appears in edit mode.
