How to Copy Panel Stacks in Documents
You can display different objects (such as reports, text, shapes, and so on) in a document so that users can navigate them as if they were pages or subsets of the larger document. These "pages" or layers of data are called panels, and a group of panels is referred to as a panel stack. Panel stacks allow a designer to create several different views (panels) of data, with each view (panel) containing a logical grouping of controls that display data that is related in a meaningful way.
You can copy and paste a panel stack so that you can reuse it. This allows you to design a complex panel stack once, and save time by leveraging it across multiple layouts in a single document or across multiple documents.
You can paste a panel stack:
- In the same section of the document.
- In a different section of the document.
- To another layout in the document.
- To itself.
- Into another document, which retains the data and format of the original panel stack. This means that the dataset used in the panel stack is also copied to the document.
To Copy a Panel Stack Within a Document
- Open the document in Editable Mode or Design Mode.
- Right-click the panel stack to copy, and select Copy.
- Right-click in the location to copy the panel stack, and select Paste.
To Copy a Panel Stack Between Documents
- Open the document to copy the panel stack to, in Editable Mode or Design Mode.
- From the Insert menu, select Layout.
- Browse to and select the document that contains the panel stack to copy. The document is inserted as a new layout.
- Right-click the panel stack to copy, and select Copy.
- Switch to the layout to place the copy in.
- Right-click in the location to copy the panel stack, and select Paste.
- Delete the new layout that was inserted.
