Copying configurations

You have the option of copying the configurations for variables and file upload from one asset to any number of assets.
If a variable with the same name already exists for the target asset, then the address of the variables on the target asset are overwritten when copying.
The copying procedure is canceled as soon as the target asset has reached the maximum number of variables.

NOTE

Continuing the copying procedure after closing the browser

Copying is interrupted if you close the browser window while copying. If you open the "Shopfloor Management Application" again, you can continue the operation by clicking on "Continue".

However, this is not possible if you are using an incognito window for the copying procedure, since no data is written to the cache in the incognito window.
