Clipboard

Summary

The Clipboard lets you select objects, attributes and other data elements from one object or gadget and make them available to another object or gadget. Content copied in any workspace will be available on the clipboard.

From V8 of Agility, the clipboard has been moved to the menu options and is no longer available as a gadget. 

The clipboard can hold many pages of data. A new page is added every time something is copied onto the clipboard using a gadget's Copy menu action, and each page can hold multiple items; however, each entity on the page will be of the same data type (or flavour). For example, if you select three attributes on the Attribute gadget and select Copy from that gadget's Action menu then a new page will be added to the clipboard with these three attributes on it. The Copy action is local to that gadget, so only the elements selected on that gadget are copied; any data selected in a different gadget (and hence possibly of a different data type) will not be copied. It therefore follows that each page in the clipboard will only ever hold data elements of the same type.

You can move through the clipboard pages using the Next and Previous buttons in the Header Area.

Items in the Clipboard gadget have checkboxes next to them, which are initially ticked. When you paste from the clipboard into a gadget, any unticked items on the clipboard are not included as part of the paste operation.
