Copying tabs

Copy tabs from the current form to another place in the same form.

1. Select the tab in the Navigation panel.
   While the tab is selected, there is an action labeled Copy Tab in the Form Wizard's Layout tab. The purpose of the Copy Tab action is to allow you to copy the tab and paste it.
2. When you click the Copy Tab action, the Properties panel changes to allow you to specify the properties of the tab when it is pasted.
   The properties are as follows:

   Name

   This is the name of the tab in the target form. The default is the name of the source tab. You cannot use the same name unless you are copying the tab to a different form. The name must be unique in the target form.

   Target Business Object

   This is the business object of the target form. The default is the business object of the current form. You can copy a tab to a form in the same business object or in a different business object in the same module. Select the Target Business Object from the dropdown list. The list shows all business objects in the same module as the current form.

   Target Form

   This is the form into which the tab will be copied. The default is the current form. You can copy a tab into any form in the selected Target Business Object. Select the target form from the dropdown list. The list shows all forms in the target business object.

3. Click the Apply action in the Properties panel. The system revises the target form if necessary and pastes the copied tab as the last tab in the target form. Be sure to publish the target form.
   • If the target business object is not the same as the source business object, the system removes fields, smart section fields, and smart sections that are not valid in the target business object.
   • You will see an error message if the tab is not uniquely named within the target form.
