Creating and Copying Operations
To create a new operation by copying an existing operation, follow these steps:
1 In the navigation pane, under Processes, GCDs, & Operations, right-click on the operation you want to copy. Select Copy Process/Operation... from the context menu. The Copy Process dialog appears.
Note that new operation is associated with the same GCD type as the copied operation.
2 In the Copy Process dialog, modify the following sections, if necessary:
New Name: enter a name for the new operation.
Create New Copies of CSL Files: leave this checked if you want to also copy all the modules associated with some of the operation’s potential descendent operations. Uncheck it, if you want to use some of the identical potential descendent operation modules.
Select Operation(s) to Add: leave checked only those operations that you want to serve as potential descendents of the new operation. Expand the GCD-operation tree, if necessary.
3 Modify the template for the new operation’s associated GCD to refer to the new operation (and modify the templates for its descendents, if any)—see Working with . Create or modify the appropriate CSL modules.
To create a new operation from scratch, follow these steps:
1 In the navigation pane, under Processes, GCDs, & Operations, right-click on the GCD type whose creation the new operation contributes to. Select New > Operation... from the context menu. The New Operation dialog appears.
2 In the New Operation dialog, modify the following sections, if necessary:
Name: enter a name for the new operation.
Parent Process/Operation: specify the parent process or operation.
GCD: specify the new operation’s associated GCD type, the GCD type to whose creation the new operation contributes.
3 Modify the template for the new operation’s associated GCD to refer to the new operation (and modify the templates for its descendents, if any)—see Working with . Create or modify the appropriate CSL modules.
