Copying a Project

If you are setting up a new project that is similar to another project already saved in the database, you can save the time it would take to enter all the project-level information by creating a copy of the existing project and assigning it a new project ID. You can then make any changes required for the new project.

Follow these steps to make a copy of a project:

1. Click the Projects link in the Preconstruction component.

2. In the Project Overview component, locate the project you want to copy.

3. Select Copy from the Actions menu on the project row.
   
   The system takes you to the Copy Project component.

4. Click in the New Project ID field, and replace the value with a unique ID for the new project.  

5. Click Save.

The system validates the new project ID and adds the new project to the database.

• Note: This feature copies only the project-level information to the new project. If the project is associated with a proposal, this association is not copied to the new project.
