ProcedureTo Copy a Job

You can use a job to be the base of another job. Use this procedure if you have a complex job that would fulfill new requirements with a few changes, rather than creating a new job.

  1. In the Jobs list, select a job to use as the source and then right-click and select Copy.

    The New Job window opens with the objects and settings of the selected job.

    The profile is listed as Based on <source profile> from <date time>. This is to notify you that the job will be based on the profile as it was at the date and time that the source job was created. If the profile has been changed since then, this new job will not reflect those changes.

    If the profile is listed as Task’s Profile, the job was not a complex job. It was created by applying job settings to inventory components. You can make a copy of this job, but you cannot view its ToDo basket.

  2. Make any changes to the job that you want and then click OK.

    The job is added to the Jobs list and begins according to its schedule settings.


    Note –

    If you do make changes to the copied job, there is no indication in the Job list. See the Job Log for details of how the changes were translated into actions.
