Use the same screen on other nodes using ‘Copy’

The created screen (Form) can be set in different nodes of the same flow by performing “Copy” in BPM/Workflow created in IM-BIS.
Since the screen set by copying is the definition different from copy source, the changes made after copying are reflected only in the screen of the changed node.

Note

Of the nodes using the same screen between different nodes, use the “Share” function to simultaneously reflect the changes even after copying.
When “Copy” function is used, the changes made in the screen (Form) are reflected only in the node wherein changes are made.
“Copy” function and its procedure is described as a method to set the screen to other tasks from the task of flow.
