Reuse multiple items from another document - AcceleratorKMS - Version 3.12 - Help - Hexagon

Reuse one or more items from another existing document into the document being edited.

The Items option is available only in documents, but not in flows.

Before you begin

Open the document in edit mode.

Procedure

1. Click Items on the document page. Once done, a search box appears.

   You can also click on the gear icon > Items.

   

2. Enter part of the title or description of the existing document from which you want to reuse items.

   

3. From the dropdown list, select the document you want to reuse items from.

   The selected document appears in a separate window with checkboxes beside each reusable item.

4. Select one or more item checkboxes > Click Add.

   The following table shows details on item reuse:

   Reusable Item	Comments
   Parent-child	Selection of any parent item includes all of its children. To reuse specific child statements, select their respective checkboxes. This applies to items such as sections, branches, etc.
   Single use variables	Existing input values are reused.
   Reusable variables	Reusable variable input values are cleared and must be redefined. If the document being edited already has a value for the reusable variable, it will be applied automatically.
   Data collection keys	Existing input values are reused.
   Range validation rules	Existing input values are reused.
   Scan code	Existing input values are reused.
   Reference links	Existing input values are reused as long as the targeted item is also reused. Otherwise, the existing input values are cleared.
