Create New Document Type by Cloning an Existing Document Type

You can clone a new document type from an existing document type.

In situations, where the requirement to create a new document type almost similar to the existing document type, clone the new document type from an existing document type and do the necessary modifications on top of it to save time and effort to define the document structure from scratch, such as JSON schema and other template mappings.
  1. In the DOCUMENT TYPES panel, right-click the document type you want to clone.
  2. Click OITT: Add Document Type Variant from the context menu.

    The Don't Clone option will create a new variant with empty schema and metadata templates.
  3. Select the existing definition or variant that you want to clone.

  4. Enter the new variant name and press ENTER.
    A new document type variant created message is displayed in the notification area.
  5. Modify the document structure definition under Document Schema, Metadata Template, Simulator Template, or Presentation Template tabs.
  6. Right-click the newly created variant and select OITT: Upload Document Type Variant to upload it to the Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace instance.
  7. Select Keep if the document is new or you do not want to overwrite an existing document.
  8. Select Overwrite to save changes over existing document.
  9. To verify if the new variant is successfully added for the selected document type, you can:
    • Login to the Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace instance.
    • Click Menu () and then click Configuration.
    • Click Document Types ().
    • On the Configuration : Document Types dashboard, from the left panel, select the document type to view the cloned variant.
    • You can also modify the document definitions on the server and download the updated version. Right-click the newly added variant and select OITT: Download Document Type Variant.
    • Use one of the following options to download document types:
      • Keep variant definitions: Download only the new or updates document types.
      • Overwrite variant definitions: Download all the document types.
  10. Right-click the newly add variant and select OITT: Remove Document Type Variant to delete it from the document list.
