Duplicating Objects

The duplicate function creates an identical copy of the selected object that you can store in any folder to which you have access within your Client. This is useful if, for example, you define object templates that you can duplicate and rename. You can duplicate objects individually or in bulk.

When you duplicate an object, the system suggests a name for the duplicate that consist of the original one adding an incremental number at the end. You can change it, if necessary.

See Name, Title and Alias for information on the behavior of names and titles in the tasks within a Workflow.
See Naming Conventions for information on naming rules, best practices and examples.

You access this function from the Explorer in the Process Assembly perspective and from the context menu in the Global Search.

Duplicating Calendars

The following example illustrates the behavior of the system when duplicating Calendars:

Calendar A has several Calendar Events, two of them being Group and Offset ones. Both refer to another Calendar Event in Calendar A.
Calendar A is duplicated, the copy is called Calendar B.
The Group and an Offset Calendar Events of Calendar B do not refer to the Calendar Event in B but to the one in A.

To Duplicate One or More Objects

Right-click the objects and select Duplicate. The Duplicate dialog is displayed.

Note: Folders cannot be duplicated. If a folder is included in your selection, the Duplicate option is not available in the context menu.
Optionally, change the object Name and enter a Title.
The system suggests the same Folder path as the original object. If necessary, change it by clicking on the arrows and selecting the appropriate folders.
Click OK.
