copy method

Scripts that instruct Optiva to change or omit a property of a new object so that it differs from a traditional new or copied object. For example, 90% of new formulas in your company have value X for a parameter. The default record contains value X for the parameter so that each new formula has the parameter pre-filled.

For the 10% of new formulas that have a different value, you can create a Copy Method that assigns value Y to the parameter. Users can choose whether to apply a Copy Method when they are creating new objects.

A rule consist of Copy Methods and Auto Code Segments. Copy Methods are scripted in the Copy Methods form and are associated with a rule in the Create Rules form.
