Copying a class structure

Clone classes, database table rules, and class groups to use one application for multiple work types. The Clone Class Group tab creates a set of classes (one of which corresponds to a class group) that match the classes below a specified class. The new and original class groups share the same native database table.

Follow these steps to clone a class group.

  1. Select Configure > Data Model > Classes and Properties > Clone Class Group to start the Direct Inheritance wizard.
  2. Complete the first form with the following information:
    • The ruleset that contains the classes to be replicated
    • The class group (work pool) to be replicated
    • A new name for the class group to be created
    • Choose any value for the strategic process; this field is not used.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Complete the second form:
    • The ruleset to contain the new classes
    • Checks for each class to be replicated
  5. Click Next to start replication.
Result:  The final form identifies the classes, database table rule, and class group that were created.
