How to save characters in Daz? (With all materials/accessories/etc)

I'm still new at using Daz, and would like to know how to save all the materials of a character to a particular figure.

So, in my example, I'm using v4 with Lynette morphs and the poison suit from Daz3d, I have all the stars parented manually, as well as the bow, arrow, and others. I have also recolored textures that I want saved as well.

It was time consuming, to say the least. I would like to just save this all as one character to load into Daz with everything fixed on already like in this image. I know it may not be perfect, but it would be huge on time saving.

I tried looking for tutorials with no luck, and I think there was a Daz tutorial, but I wasn't able to save any props onto the figure, just the pose. I'm missing something.

 

I would love an easy explanation, and this forum has been really helpful before. Thank you.

    That is more than just a character, so you'll need a wider scope. Save it as a scene subset (second on the File > Save As... list). You will be prompted for a file name (time for something appropriate) then you will get a dialog box with the node hierarchy. There you can include only the parts you want to save (i.e., figure, clothing, hair, props). Poses and materials will be included with them. The subset can be used on its own, or merged with any other scene.

    I assume you have saved the scene to preserve your work, so you can safely try to save and load the scene subset to see if it does what you expect.
