Creating Similar Structures 

Use

Entering similar structures within a functional location or a reference functional location has been made easier by the function Change structure. This enables you to alter and insert structure branches whose labels vary from the branch that has already been entered. You can use this function as long as you have not yet saved the data of the similar structure to which you are referring. You cannot access the database when using this function.

Example of Creating Similar Structures

You have entered branch ZA for the functional location Z. Branch ZA consists of 5 functional locations. You now want to create a second branch that should have the same structure as ZA.
