Copy Packet

SuiteFactory is a full featured communications and secure database driven system supporting full Document and File Control. 

As part of this Document Control System SuiteFactory provides a mechanism for storing related documents and files together for Engineering and Manufacturing.

This container is called a Packet. One way a Packet can be used would be to consider it as an "Operation" and be used as part of a "Traveler". 

In order to save duplications when creating a new Packet SuiteFactory provides a very convenient method for copying a Packet and all of its referenced Document and Files to a New Packet. This is very useful if you need a new Packet where there are only minor changes needed from the original.
