Copying Objects

You can copy object definitions or instances from one location and paste them into another. You can copy a whole Work Area, Application Area, or Domain, with all its contents.

When you copy a very large object—a Work Area, Application Area, Domain, Report Set, or Workflow—either by itself or as one of multiple selected objects, the system launches the copy operation as a batch job and displays a message with the Job ID.

When you copy an object instance or definition, the system copies only the current version (unless you explicitly select an older version in the View Version History screen; see Copying an Old Version of an Object Definition). When you paste the object into its new location, the system gives it a version number of one (1).

For additional information on the Copy operation, see Comparison of Copying and Cloning Individual Objects.
