Other ways you can insert recipe items and variables to a recipe are by moving them from one recipe and into another or by moving them from one part of a recipe to another. This is helpful when the items you are moving are exactly the same in both locations.
The Recipe Builder allows you to move a recipe item or variable by selecting the Cut and Paste commands from the Edit menu. When you select Cut, the Recipe Builder copies the entire row of the selected item and removes it from the recipe. Once removed, you can move the recipe item or variable by opening a recipe and selecting Paste.
To move a recipe item or variable from one row of the spreadsheet to another:
- Select a cell in the row you want to move.
- On the Edit menu, click Cut. The Recipe Builder copies the selected item and removes it from the recipe.
- Select a cell in the target row.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste. The recipe item or variable is inserted above the selected row.
If you prefer, you can move data from a third-party application (such as Excel) and paste it into the Recipe Builder. Moving data from a third-party application is similar to copying it. If you cut the data to the standard system clipboard, the Recipe Builder can paste the data into the recipe. For more information about pasting data from a third-party application, refer to the section Copying Recipe Items or Variables.
