Copying, deleting and renaming resources

You can copy, delete, and rename catalog resource objects in the Catalog Browser.

• To copy a resource object, select the resource object, on the toolbar of the Catalog Browser, click the Copy button . To paste it, click the Paste button .
• To delete a resource object, right-click the resource object, on the shortcut menu, click Delete.
• To rename a resource object, double-click the resource object, edit the resource name, and then click outside the renaming box to confirm the change.

  You can also rename objects by using the Properties sheet:

  1. Select the resource object, and click the Expand button on the Catalog Browser toolbar to show the Properties sheet.
  2. Select the property Name, type a new name in the Value field. You need to enable the editable mode for the Properties sheet before you can do this, that is, you need to uncheck the option Forbid editing data object properties in the Options dialog.

  Note: Renaming an object may impact the reports that use it. You must be aware of the reports currently using this object so that you can update those reports.
