Duplicating a Rule

As an alternative to building an entirely new rule, the Rules Editor app allows you to duplicate an existing rule to expedite the rule creation process.

n The Duplicate feature is only activated for a rule that has no unsaved change.

To duplicate a rule:

1. In the Rules and Items panel, open the RULES tab.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Right-click a rule in the rules table and select Duplicate in the context-menu that opens.

   • Double-click a rule in the rules table, and in the Details panel click the Duplicate button.

     

   A new duplicated rule is created and loaded into the Define Rule and Details panels.

   • The name of the rule is "Copy <original rule name>".

   • A new Rule ID is assigned to the rule.

   • The rule is disabled.

   • The rule is not saved yet.

3. (optional) Rename the rule and edit the items of the rule. See Editing a Rule.

4. Enable the rule.

5. Click the Save button to save the rule.

   If you click Cancel, the duplicated rule is discarded.
