Overview
In this documentlesson, we will learn how to import controls from different project to the page that we are developing. Also this option allow us to mass update the elements imported to make the correct association between the controls and dataset, stored procedure , etcand other objects.

For example, if the controls are associated to any invalid dataset or stored procedure, we need to create a new dataset that we are going to will retrieve the information and to display in these imported controls.
Let’s going to create a new dataset and mass update the controls to learn a fast way to understand how fast we can modify the settings and secure the new connections for imported controls.
...
Click on “New Dataset” button
...
A popup is displayed to complete the required fields on “General” Tab. Identify the new dataset with “Name” and “Execution Type” equals to “Pre” in order to make the page retrieve the data at the time is being loaded.

Recap
Under this documentlesson, we reviewed two different features to manage the page’s controls in case you we want to quickly import created elements from a different page or even different project. Also Wayfast offers give us the possibility to mass update these controls in case imported they need to be modifiedif any adjustment is needed.
