The following tasks enable you to copy spec data from one spec to another, or to use form data templates.

Protect Fields from Being Overwritten When Copying Data

Use this procedure to protect fields from overwriting of data when you copy specification data or import data from an external spec to a spec that exists in Smart Instrumentation. You perform this procedure at the form level. The fields that you protect for a given form apply to all new form data templates you create for this form.

Copy Data from One Spec to Another

Use this procedure to copy data from one spec to another. You can copy data from a spec belonging to any plant group of the current <plant>. The source and target spec form number must be the same.

Copy Data to a Spec from a Form Data Template

Use this procedure to automate entry of common data to your specification by using a form data template that you created for the form upon which the current spec is based.

Copy Data to a Form Data Template from a Spec

Use this procedure to copy a batch of data to a form data template from a specification. This can be an efficient way of building the template, which you can then use to transfer common data to other specs based on the same form. When you copy data to a form data template, the software does not affect data of existing specs that are based on this template.
