Record with Parameters

Look up and select parameters to be passed to the application class method that will copy the source analytic instance. Click the lookup button to display a list of records. Select a record, the first row of which will consist of parameters that you want to pass to the application class copy method. Selecting any record generates a populated standalone record.

Populate Record Fields

Copy Analytic Instance

Copy the selected analytic instance and its associated data. If a tree is attached to the selected analytic instance, all tree data is also copied to the new analytic instance.

Note: The analytic instance data and tree data are copied only if the record with parameters that you specified is populated with the source analytic instance ID.
