Create a new document type by duplicating an existing document type

Create a new document type from an existing document type.

In a scenario, where an existing document type is similar to the new document type with few variations, you can duplicate the existing type and make modification on top of it. This saves time and effort involved in creating JSON schema and other mappings from scratch.

1. Click Menu () and then click Configurations.
2. Click Document Types ().
3. Select the document type that you want to duplicate from the list of Document Types in the left pane.
4. Click Duplicate Document Type () on the right side of the Document Type name.
5. In the Duplicate Document Type, enter the Name of the document type, and click Duplicate.

   The duplicate document type is displayed on the Configurations : Document Types dashboard.

   To edit the duplicate document type or its variants see Edit a Document Type.
