  1. Select File > Preferences > Specifications > General.

  2. Under Data copying options, select one of the following:

    • Copy without overwriting existing data — Copies data to empty fields only. This option does not overwrite data that already exists in the target spec.

    • Copy excluding blank fields in source — Copies data from template fields except for those template fields that have no data. This means that if a certain field in the form data template fields does not have any value or only has spaces, the software ignores this field when copying data.

    • Copy all fields — Overwrites all data fields in the spec. A source field that only has spaces is considered blank.

    SHARED Tip The Domain Administrator can restrict the ability of other users to set their preferences. Therefore, you can find that the data copying options are disabled. If you want to enable these options, contact your Domain Administrator, who can manage preferences from the Administration module.

  3. In the Specifications module, open the spec to which you want to copy data.

  4. On the menu bar, select Actions > Copy from Template.

  5. On the Select Form Data Template dialog, select a form data template from the list.

  6. Select OK to copy the data from the selected form data template to the specification.

  7. Save the specification.
