How to: Duplicate a project

Project duplication is a useful functionality. Projects can be duplicated, and all comments, documents, deliverables and details will be copied. If this is an external project type, the supplier is removed, and you can select a new supplier:

• Project will be named ‘Copy of…’ which can be edited
• Project reverts to a created state
• Supplier removed
• Private supplier comments and documents are not copied
• All external deliverables are returned to a Created state
• All internal deliverables will be are returned to an Open or Created state
• All data entered in the template is retained
• Templates are duplicated exactly as they appear in the current project
• Only projects created by your organisation can be duplicated by you

This feature can also be used in the event you are updating your preferred suppliers with projects the are currently open, retaining all project data without the trouble of manually re-entering all the information.
