### 6.4.1. Entering of repeating data

It often happens, that elements in project have repeating data. In such cases, to speed up the edition it is possible to use one of methods facilitating data duplication. These methods are:

- Group completion of data,

- Copying of individual values,

These methods have been described in detail in following sub-items.

Group completion of data for many elements

It is one of methods of quick data completion for many elements. After selecting of several elements of the same type, common fields of all selected elements will appear. These fields values, which are identical in all selected elements are displayed in fields, whereas other fields are empty. Entering the value to any of these fields it will be changed for all selected elements. It does not matter here, if before entering of data the values of fields were equal or different for selected elements. Fields, which will not be edited, will remain unchanged for each of selected elements.

If in selected group there are differently declared values of the same data – that means, completed by enforcing the value by means of icon or calculated by means of icon , then it will be designated by means of icon with a question „Calculate..... or enforce? Transient value”. The User, selecting specified calculation mode (using adequate icons) – „Enforced” or „Calculated” will declare it to all others. He can also leave in selected group differently declared and not completed data.

¨ To change the data value for many elements simultaneously, it is necessary to:

1. Select elements. The User can here take advantage of techniques described in chapter 6.4.

2. Enter data into displayed fields in edition window of selected project position.

Copying of individual values

This is the easiest method of elements data duplication. After entering the value of specified field for one element it is possible to copy it.

¨ To enter data by copying, it is necessary to:

1. Select one element,

2. Select from handy menu the command „Copy”,

3. Go to adequate field,

4. Select command „Paste” called by right mouse button from handy menu
