How to Copy an Existing Page

It is possible to create new questionnaire pages by copying existing pages rather than creating new questionnaire pages from scratch each time a new questionnaire page is required.

For example, if the questionnaire page that applies to a specific job position is the same or similar for each country, the questionnaire page for that job position need only be created once and can be copied to the Position category for each country. Each new page can then be modified to suit specific requirements.

Pages can be copied within categories, across categories for the same country or across countries.

When a page is created by copying an existing page, the new page inherits all of the attributes and page content of the existing page except the external references, which must be set manually on the new page. The exception to this is for pages copied to the Country category, in which case the relevant external reference is set automatically.

The displays code and name of the new page default to that of the original page but are prefixed with the tag Copy Of Page (for example: Copy of Page 335).

Any of the attributes or page contents inherited from the original page can be edited to suit the requirements of the new page.

To copy an existing questionnaire page, follow the procedure below.

1.	In the category hierarchy pane on the left-hand side of the Page Maintenance screen, find and click the questionnaire page you want to copy. The page is selected within the category hierarchy.
2.	Click the copy button. The selected page is copied.	Open
3.	Within the category hierarchy pane, click the category to which the page is to be copied. The category you clicked is selected.
4.	Click the paste button. A copy of the page is pasted to the selected category, creating a new page linked to that category.	Open
5.	Double-click the name of the new page. The page opens in the Page Entry screen.
6.	Using the Available For List field, use the Add action to apply one or more external references to the new page.
7.	Change any of the page attributes inherited from the original page, such as the display code, page name, page heading or filter categories if necessary.
8.	Change any of the page contents by adding, editing or removing any questions, question groups or free text.
9.	Click Save. The page is saved.
