Table 7. Step Actions and Transitions
Default insertion method | Copy reference: The reference to the action objects which call the step are also copied when the step is copied. The copied step and new step call the same action. Duplicate implementation: The reference to the action objects which call the step are linked to this step. When copying the step element, new action objects are created for the new step, and the implementation is duplicated. Always ask: When inserting a step action, you are always prompted whether the actions of a step element should be duplicated when it is copied, or whether the reference to the existing action should be applied. Note: If a step already contains an embedded action, then new inserted actions of this step are also embedded. Likewise, new inserted actions are not embedded when the step already contains a non-embedded action. In these cases, you are no longer prompted for a duplication mode.
