Copy a CSM Item

Use the CSM Item Managers to copy and paste existing CSM Items (example: Dashboard, Report, One-Step Actions etc.) to use as a starting point or a template for another CSM Item.

Good to know:

  • A copied item retains the same dependencies as its original. Be sure to find dependencies before editing the item's copy.
  • A copied item is named Copy of... by default. Rename copied items to avoid confusion between the original and the copied item.
  • Managers look and behave differently in the Browser Client. For more information, refer to the Browser Client documentation.

Note: Editing an item, making changes and selecting Save As copies and edits an item in one action.

To copy a CSM Item:

  1. Open a CSM Item Manager.
  2. Select a scope and subfolder (if needed).
  3. Select the CSM Item to copy, and then select one of the following:
    • In the CSM Item Manager window, right-click > Copy.
    • From the CSM Item Manager menu bar, select Edit > Copy.
  4. Paste the item using one of the following:
    • In the CSM Item Manager window, right-click > Paste.
    • From the CSM Item Manager menu bar, select Edit > Paste.
  5. (Optional but recommended) Rename the copied item.
Note: Alternatively, in the CSM Item Manager window, right-click > Edit, and then select Save As when you have made changes and want to save your edited copy.
