Copying and Pasting Conditions and Clauses

When you are building queries, it can be convenient to copy and paste existing AND/OR conditions and individual clauses instead of redefining them manually. The Query Editor copy/paste feature lets you do this.

When you select an AND/OR condition, AccuRev copies the condition and any clauses that have been defined for it to the clipboard. If you select a single clause, only that clause is copied to the clipboard. Items copied in one query definition can be pasted in another.

To copy and paste a query condition or clause:

  1. Select the AND/OR condition or individual clause you want to copy.
  2. Click the Copy button GUID-571EB440-CF68-4838-969F-255AD88B61FB-low.png on the toolbar. Alternative: Right-click the condition or clause and choose Copy.
  3. Select the target for the paste operation. This can be the query name or an AND/OR folder.
  4. Click the Paste button GUID-A0C23E4B-ECEE-440E-9CD1-B17681AF887B-low.png on the toolbar. Alternative: Right-click the target for the paste operation and choose Paste.
  5. Modify the fields in the pasted clauses as needed.
