Repeating (copying) esoteric groups

You can copy esoterics within the same or to another IODF. When copying an esoteric, the list of assigned devices is also copied.

Perform the following steps to repeat esoterics:

  1. Make sure that the devices are already defined to the target operating system.
  2. On the Esoteric List select an esoteric and the Repeat (copy) esoterics action from the context menu (or action code r ). The Identify Target IODF panel is displayed.
  3. Specify the IODF to which the selected operating system is to be copied. The default IODF is the IODF you are currently working with.
  4. On the following Repeat Esoteric panel, specify the required values and press the Enter key.

    If the esoteric already exists in the target IODF, the devices defined for the esoteric are merged. In this case, HCD displays a panel to confirm the merging.
