Clone Templates

Cloning templates allow you to create new templates with matching data.

You can use the Clone feature in the Web Console to create new templates and avoid spending valuable time manually adding the same or similar data to create new templates.

You can clone templates when creating a new template using the Add Template button and then click the Clone button on the New Template page. When you click the Clone button, the new template is saved in the system, and a copy of the new template is created with matching data. The Template Name field of the cloned template is appended with "Copy <#>"suffix, indicating that the template is a copy of a new template that you just created. The number <#> indicates the number of copies or clones of a template.

For example, when you create a clone of a new template named, "Staff Meeting," the Template Name field of the cloned template is updated as "Staff Meeting (Copy 1)." You can make additional changes to the cloned template, such as add a new or unique name to identify this template and update the group sharing information before saving this template. For more information on creating a clone template, see Cloning a Template.

Similarly, you use the clone feature in the Web Console to create a copy of an existing template. The system creates a copy of an existing template. For more information on creating a copy of an existing template, see Cloning an Existing Template.

Important: When you create a clone from a new template or existing template, the group sharing information is not added to the newly cloned template.
