Copy a Document

Instead of creating a new simulation document, you will find it easier in some cases to copy, or clone, an existing document and change it to suit your needs.

Note: You can also create a copy of a document by copying the document into the clipboard collection and pasting it into a new location. However, the copy continues to refer to the original document and cannot be modified independently.

Before you begin: You must have the role of Simulation Analyst to copy a document.

    The document appears in the navigation pane and the table page.
  3. From the table page toolbar, select Copy .
  4. In the Copy Simulation Document page that appears, enter the following:
    • Title: Process Composer displays the title to indicate which document you are working with. You can change the title of the copied document to help you distinguish between documents.
    • Description: Enter a description that allows any user to determine the purpose of this document. You should describe the problem that you are attempting to answer along with the product and/or workflow you are simulating.
    • Policy: Choose from the list of simulation document policies. See About Policies for more information.
  5. Click Done to copy the document.
    Process Composer creates the new document in the same container as the original document.
    Note: The revision and associated type from the original document are inherited by the new document. Any access rights that were granted to the original simulation document are not copied over to the new document.
