Copy a Record

B2C Service lets you copy a record to use as a starting point for creating another record.

Assume you have a contact record that is associated with an organization. When you add another contact from the same organization, you might want to copy the original contact and edit the names to avoid having to re-enter organization information.
  1. Do one of the following:
    • With a report open on the content pane, right-click the record you want to copy and select Copy. The Copy window opens.
    • With the record open, click Copy on the ribbon.
  2. Select the option for each of the data items you want copied with the record.
