Copying a capability pattern

If a capability pattern is copied into a process, method content elements in the capability pattern are disconnected from the original. The capability pattern elements can be altered, deleted or changed as you want in the process editor without affecting the original method content elements. Method elements in a copied capability pattern appear in regular black font.

This procedure can be used to extend any activity, not only capability patterns.

In the configuration view, select a capability pattern or its parts that you want to copy into an activity in a process and drag the pattern or parts into the activity to which you want it to apply. To select multiple activities in a capability pattern, press the CTRL or SHIFT keys while you select.
In the dialog box that appears, click Copy. The capability pattern name is displayed in black and is now available for you to edit.

Alternate procedure:

In the process view, right click an activity, and select Apply Pattern, then select Copy. The Select Dialog For Processes window appears.
Drill down into the process tree until you locate the capability pattern you want to copy.
Select the pattern, and then click OK. The Select Dialog For Processes window closes and the capability pattern is applied.
