Cloning Items¶
VOSS-4-UC allows you to make a copy (clone) certain items, such as roles, credential policies, devices, and phones. Cloning provides a quick way to create new items, based on data from the cloned item. A Clone action displays on pages in the Admin Portal, where it’s possible to create a clone. Clone is not possible in the list views, for example.
The system creates the new cloned item once you click Save.
If an item refers to other items, only the current item is cloned, and not the referenced items. For example, when cloning a phone, the device models (Phone and Remote Destination) that are referred to in this item are not cloned.
On the cloned item, you will need to edit the cloned key field(s), such as Name, and provide new values to create the new item in the system. If you don’t change a key field value, the system displays the following error message: “Error, Duplicate Resource Found.”
