Editing Project Structures
General Functions for Editing Project Structures
If you have administration authorization for a project, you can cut, copy, and paste project elements using the appropriate pushbuttons when editing project structures. Each pushbutton is only active if it is possible to carry out the function for the project element you are processing in the structure.
You can paste the selected project element multiple times but the selection is reset when you change views, for example, when you change from the detail view to the table view or when you mark the project element as a focus object.
Example
You have cut a checklist item and want to paste it somewhere else. This function is only available if you are in a checklist because checklist items can only be found below checklists.
To get a clearer view, choose Position
to position the structure tree in such a way that a selected project element appears at the top. To display the rest of the structure
above the selected element again afterwards, you can scroll to the top of the structure.
Recommendation
When working with large projects, we recommend that you only expand the project elements or subtrees in the structure tree that you require for immediate editing because the response time of the system increases with the number of expanded project elements. If you have fully or almost fully expanded the project structure, the time the system requires for each further action, for example, switching to the detail view, table view, graphical view, or multi-project monitor, may increase.
