Each embedded Mimic has a System setting that you can use to specify which system contains the original version of the embedded Mimic. (The system on which the embedded Mimic is stored as a 'normal' Mimic.)
Typically, you will use the System combo box to select the same system that contains the Mimic you are configuring. However, you may need to change the System setting if you are editing a Mimic that has been copied from one system to another.
For example, a Mimic named 'Overview' is created on System A. The Mimic contains an embedded version of a Mimic named 'Pipeline' and the 'Pipeline' Mimic is also stored on System A.
The 'Overview' Mimic is copied and pasted into a folder on System B. Rather than have the Mimic on System B referring to the 'Pipeline' Mimic on System A, you can change the System setting so it refers to a local Mimic. On the 'Overview' Mimic on System B, the System setting for the embedded Mimic is changed from System A to System B. This means that the 'Overview' Mimic on System B refers to a local version of the 'Pipeline' Mimic, that is, a 'Pipeline' Mimic on System B.
To change the System setting, display the Embedded Mimic Properties window (see Editing an Embedded Mimic), then select the required system name in the System combo box.
