Exact copy of an existing (parent)
ver 5
The user guide, Page 147, states that
.
"You can create a new child scorecard by making an exact copy of an existing (parent)
scorecard and the two will be automatically cascaded."
.
What are the steps to make an exact copy of a scorecard?
Thank you, Endre

Hi Endre -

You can do this in a few short steps.

First click the "New..." button under Scorecards on the Author tab.

Select a "Parent Scorecard:" in the drop down that you would like to clone.

Mark the Checkbox of "Cascade Scorecard:". This means you would like to clone the scorecard.

Click "Save" and abracadabra you’ll have the exact copy of the parent scorecard with it cascaded underneath.

Cheers,
Mike

This exact procedure is on page 149 BTW, just a few pages on in the doc...

Thnx,
I wasn't sure that once I create a cascading child scorecard, it actually inherits elements from the parent. I thought I only set the relationship between the two scoreacards when setting it to cascading.
Now I see the Description of the Cascade Check box on page 149-150: "The new scorecard inherits the schema of the parent scorecard."
