Copying Objects

Being able to copy objects can be very convenient. For example, if you want to create a property group that is exactly the same as an existing one except that it contains one additional property, it's nice to be able copy the existing property group, give the copy a name, and add the one property -- instead of creating a new property group and adding a long list of properties to it. The same is true if you need to create a new alarm that is similar to an existing alarm, or a new poll that is similar to an existing one.

NerveCenter enables you to copy most objects. To copy a property group, you select a Copy button in the Property Group List button. To copy any other object (that supports a copy operation), you select Copy from a pop-up menu associated with the object. For complete instructions on how to copy a property group or another object, see the appropriate section below:
