Replicating a Record
The Replicate feature is used to copy all general, indicator, and parameter attributes of an existing record, so the setup of a new record requires less time.
Complete the following steps to replicate a record.
-
Using the Search page, search for a record to copy.
-
Click on the folder to the left of a record to open it.
-
In the Actions section in the left pane, click the Replicate button.
-
Update values on the General screen.
Note
Key identification fields must be unique or a Duplicate Key error message is generated. For example, because the "key" identification field for a Holiday record is the Code, the system does not allow a user to replicate a holiday record with the same Code. The Code for each Holiday record must be unique.
-
Click the Save button.
-
Optional. Update tabs, including Indicators and Parameters, and click the Save button.
All selected records are now updated, with the new information replacing the old information in the selected fields.
