Duplicate Button
Click the Duplicate button in the Page Actions Toolbar to create a duplicate of the currently selected object.
Before the new object is added to the database, a dialog appears in which you must enter the unique identifier for the duplicate object. When you click OK, the system creates the record by copying the original record. It may be helpful to think of the duplication function as the equivalent of a "save as" action.

Note: Copying ancillary information for a record sometimes requires confirmation during a
duplication request. If so, you may also be asked if you also want to duplicate ancillary
information. If, for example, you duplicate a user group, besides supplying the ID of the new
user group, you are asked if all users in the original user group should be linked to the new
user group.
This button does not appear in the Page Actions Toolbar when:
- Duplication is not supported for the current object.
- You are on a portal based page. (For these types of pages, if duplication is supported, the actions are defined in a zone on the portal.)
- You have made changes to the object without committing the changes to the database by clicking Save. (After making changes, you must either discard them using the Refresh button, or save them.)
