Copying and Pasting a Data Object

When you copy and paste a data object, you set the data object whose data you are already using in the document into a different grid. The source grid to which the data object was initially added is still assigned to the data object, which means that the data object is used twice in the document.
You can also use this function for grids that are not on the same page.

Prerequisite: ClosedYou have opened a document in the document editor. The document contains either static or dynamic grids. The same category is assigned to the source and target grids. Layouts are also assigned to the grids and, at minimum, a data object is assigned to the source grid.

  1. Choose the page on which you want to copy a data object.

  2. Open the Data objects tab.

  3. In the document preview, click the object handle next to the data object that you want to add to another grid.

    4. A menu opens.

  4. Choose Copy data object.

  5. Open the menu next to the grid where you want to paste the data object.

  6. Choose Paste data object.

The data object is assigned to both grids.
