The Clipboard Categories setup screen allows you to create new categories for text strings that you use repeatedly. Once the category groups are created here, the actual text strings can be added to the category groups in the Categories setup screen which was covered in the previous section.

To paste one of these text strings on a field, right-click on the field, select Clipboard followed by the appropriate category and text  that you want to use. To view multiple clipboard categories at once, click Multiple… to open the Clipboard screen. You can also open this screen by selecting Tools > Clipboard from the main menu bar. For more information, refer to the Clipboard section on Chapter 11.

To setup the clipboard categories, go to File > Setup > Clipboard Categories from the main application menu. On the Clipboard Categories, click Add to setup a new category group. Enter a number into the ‘Sort Order’ field to select the order in which it will display on the right-click pop-up menu at run time. To delete a clipboard category, click on it to highlight it and then on Delete. You can also copy an existing clipboard category into a new one by clicking to highlight the category that you are copying from and then on Copy.

Click Save and Close on the main application toolbar when you are finished making changes to this screen.
