Copy a Component

This topic describes how to copy the datasheet of the following types of components of an analysis:

Deviation (in case of a HAZOP Analysis)
What If (in case of a What If Analysis)
Cause
Consequence
Safeguard

Hint: You can copy a Component only if the Hazards Analysis into which you want to copy the Component is in the Planning state.

The ID of the copied component is appended with the word Copy at the end. For example, if the ID of the Cause that you want to copy is Gas Pipe Leakage, the name of the copied Cause is Gas Pipe Leakage Copy. However, when you copy a Deviation, the ID of the copied record is the same as that of the original record.

You can also create a component using a blank datasheet.

Steps

Access the System/Node into which you want to copy the component.
Select the Hazards Worksheets tab.

The Hazards Worksheets section appears, displaying a hierarchical view of the components (Deviations or What Ifs, Causes, Consequences, and Safeguards) associated with the System/Node.
In the hierarchical level that corresponds to the type of component that you want to copy, select , and then select Copy <type of the component>. For example, if you want to copy a Deviation, then in the Deviations hierarchical level, select , and then select Copy Deviations.

The Search window appears.
In the upper-right corner of the window, select .

A list of records of the selected component type appears.
Select the check box that corresponds to the component that you want to copy, and then select OK.

The component is added to the System/Node.
