New Feature EP-4639 Support Materials - added copy functionality.
- Lisa Clancy
Overview
We have added the copy functionality to the Support Materials → Manage area into release 5.26.0.
Changes to Functionality
It is now possible to copy an existing support material (both main and provider/employer specific versions) into a new version, this behaves in a similar way to the other copy functionality available within the system (i.e. Entity Management).
The User restrictions will mean it will copy over any restrictions set against the original support material you are copying, for the example above these were restricted to the Provider users, so the new support material would be the same.
As part of this work, the legacy Edit pencil button has been updated to show the three-dot menu instead - this not only allows for the Edit and Copy button to be shown concurrently, but also allows for users with update permissions to choose to view a support material.
Choosing to copy a support material allows the user to set a new title before the copy takes place.
If the support material you are copying is a Provider/Employer Specific as per this example:-
The copy functionality will work in the same way, but the new material it creates will retain the Provider/Employer Specific details:-
Note that under the “Additional Options” section of the copy screen, a “Mock Tests (if applicable)” option will be shown as a compulsory option - this is required for “Mock Test” type support materials, to maintain data integrity of the new support material.
If the support material is not a mock test type, nothing will be copied.
Once the support material is copied, the new one is created in a Draft status, allowing the EPAO to tweak the support material before putting it live.
