Perform on of the following actions:

  • Select File > 1(New) and type E next to the <New> line.
  • Enter New on the Command line and press Enter to process your selection.

The dialog displays the New Data Policy Definition panel.

Make entries as needed, and press Enter to return to the Data Optimization Policy panel. See the 'Data Optimization Policy panel' (Editing-or-viewing-a-data-policy-definition).

The added definition appears with the word “Added” beneath the Response column next to the definition.

Insert a new definition (similar to add, but you choose the position in the list).

  1. Decide where in the list you want to place the new definition.
  2. Position the cursor to the left of the statement that immediately precedes this position.
  3. Type I (Insert), and press Enter.

The New Data Policy Definition panel is displayed with a message that describes where this definition is to be inserted in the list.

Make changes to any selection criteria or optimization options input fields, and press Enter to return to the Data Optimization Policy panel.

The inserted definition appears at the selected point in the list with the word “Inserted” in the Response column next to the definition.

Copy (and paste) a definition.

  1. Position the cursor in the action entry field to the left of the definition that you want to copy.
  2. Type C (for Copy), and press Enter.

    The dialog response depends on the clipboard contents:

    • If the clipboard is empty, the dialog issues a message and places the word “Copied” beneath the Response column next to the definition to indicate that the definition has been copied.
    • If the clipboard contains a definition, the dialog displays a Confirm Clipboard Overwrite pop-up message.

    Press Enter. The dialog copies the copied definition from the list to the clipboard. To cancel the operation, press F12 or enter Cancel.

The dialog moves the definition from the clipboard to the list at the selected position. If you want to edit the copied definition, see Editing-or-viewing-a-data-policy-definition.

Move (cut and paste) a definition.

  1. Position the cursor in the action entry field to the left of the definition that you want to move.
  2. Type X (Cut), and press Enter.

    The dialog response depends on the clipboard contents:

    • If the clipboard is empty, the dialog moves the definition from the list to the clipboard and issues a message.
    • If the clipboard contains a definition, the dialog displays a Confirm Clipboard Overwrite pop-up message.

      Press Enter. The dialog copies the copied definition from the list to the clipboard. To cancel the operation, press F12 or enter Cancel.

  3. Decide where in the list you want to place the cut definition. Position the cursor to the left of the statement that immediately precedes this position, type the letter P (Paste), and press Enter.

The dialog moves the definition from the clipboard to the list. If you want to edit the moved definition, see Editing-or-viewing-a-data-policy-definition.

Error
Warning

If you save a data policy member after you have “Cut” a definition but before you “Paste” it, the “Cut” (moved) definition is not saved in the data policy member.
