Does anyone know what the difference is between “copy” and “link” is under the SUA reporting catalog?
The catalog editor document describes the two but seems pretty similar to me?
Copy
The Copy function allows you to automatically duplicate the information in one record to another record without having to manually input your content. An example is if two records are mapped to the same executable file. This feature follows the same drag and drop method. In the dialog box, select Copy, then click Submit.
Link
Use the Link feature when you want to connect two records that have the same executable file, even if they are shown in two places within the Catalog. An example is linking the executable file for a standalone version of Microsoft Excel to the executable Excel file within the “package” of Microsoft Office. The Excel application is available in the Microsoft Office Standard, Home, and Professional versions
