The process for moving or copying an object is the same between sub-areas in a procurement divided into lots and between groups in a turnkey procurement. Moving and copying objects and criteria is carried out by clicking the same button, after which a selection is made as to whether the object or criterion is to be moved or copied.
Moving/copying sub-area (group) objects from one sub-area (group) to another
If you want to move or copy an object from one sub-area (group) to another, this cannot be done by dragging and dropping, but instead you will need to use special a copy/move tool for the purpose. When you move an object, its definitions and the criteria listed below it will be moved with the object.
- Click the arrow icon (Moving and copying sub-area (group) objects and criteria) at the top of the sub-area (group)
- Select the ‘Objects’ tab
- Select the sub-area (group) objects that are to be moved or copied
- Check the boxes of the objects you want to select
- Select the sub-area (group) to which the objects are to be moved or copied
- Check the boxes of the sub-areas you want to select
- Select whether you want to move or copy the objects
- To move, click ‘Move’
- To copy, click ‘Copy’

Moving/copying a criterion within a sub-area (group)
A criterion can only be moved by dragging and dropping within the same object. If you want to move a criterion under a different object or from under an object to the ‘Criteria applicable to all objects in the sub-area (group)’ section or to the common criteria of the sub-area (group), you will need to use the copy/move tool for moving it.
