Edit Menu on Activities Page

Overview

The icons on the Edit menu are identical to the icons on the Edit toolbar. Though the icons on the menu are fixed, the same list of icons can be configured on the toolbar.

Screen Elements

"" Cut (Ctrl+X)

Cuts the selected item and its applicable attributes to the temporary clipboard, removing it from its current location. The item and applicable attributes can then be pasted to another supported location.

"" Copy (Ctrl+C)

Copies the selected item and its applicable attributes to the temporary clipboard, leaving the original in its current location. The copied item and applicable attributes can then be pasted into another supported location.

"" Paste (Ctrl+V)

Completes a Cut or Copy operation by inserting an item and its supported attributes into a new location.

Note: The following items are not included if you paste an activity from one project into another project: project-level activity codes, EPS-level activity codes (if the projects belong to different EPS nodes), work products and documents, and issues. If you are working in a grouped activity view and paste an activity from one group into another group, it inherits the value of the group you paste it to, with some exceptions. For example, if your view is grouped by activity type, and you cut a Task Dependent activity and paste it into a Resource Dependent group, the activity type changes to Resource Dependent. An exception to this occurs in cases where the application business logic would be invalidated by applying the attribute of the new group. For example, if you copy a start milestone that has a constraint to a finish milestone group, the activity changes to a finish milestone, but the start constraint is removed because a finish milestone cannot have a start constraint.

"" Fill Down (Ctrl+I)

Enables you to insert the value of the first or top cell into the remaining cells in the column.

"" Move Up (Ctrl+Alt+Up)

Moves the selected item one level higher in the hierarchical arrangement.

"" Move Right (Ctrl+Alt+Right)

"" Find (Ctrl+F)

Enables you to find entries in a table column using search words or values.

"" Find Next (F3)

Enables you to find and highlight the next matching entry in the selected column after an initial Find operation. This option is only available in tables.
