Copying Objects

This topic describes how to copy an object. For guidelines about copying an object, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

To copy an object

1. In the Object List Editor, locate the object that you want to copy.

   For more information, see Locating and Modifying Object Definitions in the Object List Editor.

2. Click the Edit menu, and then click Copy Record.

   Siebel Tools inserts a new record above the record that you copied. This new record includes all of the same values as the record that you copied, except the Name property is empty and the Changed property contains a check mark. Siebel Tools also creates a copy of any child objects for the record you copied. For example, if you copy the Account business component, then it creates a new business component that includes several hundred business component fields.

3. Enter a new value for the Name property.
4. If necessary, modify other properties and child objects.
5. To save your modifications, click anywhere outside of the new row.
