Start Option Merge
Use this page to modify an existing start option by copying information from other start options. This page may be used to copy records from the contract rider, contract value, contract quantity, characteristic, interval profile, TOU map, contract option and TOU contract value collections from one or more existing start options to another.
The target start option must exist prior to using this page. If you are creating a new start option, you must first go to the Start Option page to add the new start option and then navigate to the merge page to copy collection information.
Duplicate versus Merge. The Start Option page has Duplication capability. You would duplicate a start option if you want to a) create a new start option AND b) populate it with all the information from an existing start option. You would use the start option merge page if you want to build a start option using pieces of one or more start options.
