Cloning an AutoText

The Clone function is a quick way to copy an AutoText and open it for additional editing.

NOTE: If you have the Edit AutoText administrative privilege on the system, and you modify an AutoText, you are changing that AutoText for everyone, not just yourself. To change an AutoText for you only as a provider, log in as a provider who does not have that administrative privilege.

To clone an AutoText:

1.  From the AutoText Manager window, search for the AutoText that you want to clone.

2.  Select the AutoText and say "Clone AutoText."  

3.  Make your changes to the AutoText.

NOTE: When cloning your own AutoText, you must change the name of the cloned AutoText. The name is automatically selected after using the Clone command, allowing you to rename it. In addition, if your original AutoText contained a shortcut, you will have to rename the shortcut as well.

 

4.  When finished, say "Save AutoText" to save your cloned AutoText.

Clone AutoText to Multiple Users

NOTE:This feature applies only to providers who have administrative privileges in the application.

You can select an AutoText and distribute it to several users. From the AutoText Editor, right click an AutoText and select Clone.

The Assign Owners dialog box opens. Add one or more Available Owners to the Selected Owners list and click OK.
