Importing Classes from another catalog
You can import just the classes from another catalog - this is useful
if you set up some useful classes (such as "Protocol", "Publication")
and want to use them in many different catalogs.
There is a related feature, Template
Catalogs, described in
the Advanced Features section.

| Choose the catalog from which to import the class definitions |
-
Enter the location of a catalog or click Browse to locate
it. You can choose either a catalog (with extension .axz),
or a stand-alone type catalog (extension .axt)

Click Open. The classes from the given catalog are now in Catalyzer.
You can now add records for the imported classes.

One application for importing type catalogs is
to control who changes the standard classes and to
encourage everyone to structure their data in the same way.
One person could be responsible for setting up
the classes, ane everyone else could import this
central type catalog and enter their own records.
