Copy a Project (v8.xx)

It is possible at any moment to create a copy of an existing project. A project copy does not just copy the project description document; it copies all project data including the plan, tasks, deliverables, costs, etc. to copy a project:

  • Open the project description document.

  • Click on "Actions" on the menu bar and select "Copy".





Select the "Projects" database the new project will be created in.



The system will open the new project description document. You will need to change the name of the copied project name as it will inherit the name of the project it was copied from.



Save and close the document.






Note: If the project code is not generated manually, the code as well as the project name will need to be changed before saving and closing the document.
