Cloning and Deleting Packs

Cloning Packs saves you time when creating Packs with similar functionalities. Cloning an Action Pack results in all Actions and objects that directly belong to it (Includes, Prompsets, Workflows) to be copied.

Prerequisites

  • The Action Builder plugin is installed and configure in your system

To Clone Packs

  1. Go to the Packs view of the Process Assembly perspective
  2. Right-click the Action Pack and select Clone.
  3. (Optional) Change the title for the cloned Action Pack. Enter a descriptive name. The title helps you and others to identify better the purpose of the Action Pack.
  4. Enter a Name. A prefix is automatically added by the system to adhere to the Action Pack naming conventions.

The cloned Action Pack is displayed on the list.
