The subsystem is copied with the same name, parameters and settings defined for the original subsystem. However, changes applied to the original system are not carried over to the copied system and vice versa. The sub-system can only be copied to an authorized system (i.e. the subsystem has been configured as linkable with the selected system) and if the maximum number of linkable subsystems has not been reached for the selected system (this limit is defined by the administrator). |

| + | == Misconfiguration == | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the Smart Quotes user does not configure properly the system properties in the mask (e.g. missing values, inconsistent values, un-selected items etc.), it may not be possible for the user to access to the [[Description of the Menu Price | Price]], [[Description of the Menu Documents | Documents]] and [[Description of the Menu Order | Order]] menus, as shown in the following example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | [[File:MetisSmartQuotesLimits.PNG|center|850x750px]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The normal contents of the [[Description of the Menu Price | Price]], [[Description of the Menu Documents | Documents]] and [[Description of the Menu Order | Order]] menus is replaced by a table that lists the found errors, per system and/or sub-systems. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The table contains the following details for each misconfigured system or sub-system: | ||
| + | * a description of the error | ||
| + | * the expected or the maximum authorized value | ||
| + | * the value inputted by the Smart Quotes user | ||
| + | * the difference between the inputted value and the maximum authorized value | ||
| + | |||
| + | To be able to access to the menus, the Smart Quotes user has to modify accordingly his/her selection in the configuration masks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | == Configuration Mask Restrictions == | ||
| + | |||
| + | In some cases, the Smart Quotes user may not be able to edit the properties of a system or subsystems using the configuration masks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the offer has been [[Description of the Menu Documents#Blocking an Offer | locked]] or [[Description of the Menu Order | ordered]], the Smart Quotes user cannot edit the configuration masks (they are in a read-only mode), as shown in the following example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | [[File:MetisSmartQuotesMaskLockedOffer.PNG|center|850x750px]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | However, the Smart Quotes user can still copy a system or a subsystem using the [[#Description of the Right-Click Menu Features | right-click menu option]]. The copied system or subsystem can then be copied to another offer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the Smart Quotes user is not authorized to use a system or a subsystem, the user does not see at all the configuration masks, as shown in the following example: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | [[File:MetisSmartQuotesDesignMenuWithUnauthorizedSystem.PNG|center|850x750px]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | When [[#Description of the Right-Click Menu Features | right-clicking]] on the system icon, the Smart Quotes user can only delete the system. The other menu options are not available. | ||
