Creating Requests by Copying Requests
You can copy an existing request to create a request. This can save your time by eliminating the need to reenter information that is common to both requests.
Caution: If your PPM instance supports multiple languages, and you create a request by copying an existing field, keep in mind that the new request you create as a result of the copy action has its definition language automatically set to your current session language, even if the original entity had a different definition language. For more information, see the Multilingual User Interface Guide.
To copy an existing request:
-
Log on to PPM.
-
Open a request.
Note: To open a request, see Opening and Updating Requests.
The detail page for the request opens.
-
In the upper-right corner, click Copy.
The Copy Request page opens.
-
To add the notes associated with the original request to the new request, leave the Copy Request Notes checkbox selected.
-
To add the references associated with the original request to the new request, leave the Copy Request References checkbox selected.
-
Click Copy.
The Create New <Request Type> page opens and displays the copied information. The values from all the fields in the header and details sections are replicated in the new request.
-
Modify the field values, as required, and then click Submit.
The Request Copy Confirmed page shows that the request was successfully copied.
-
To open the new request or the copied request, click its request number.
