The Activity File Maintenance Clone function allows you to clone an existing Activity that may have similar features to a new program you would like to create. This process can save a tremendous amount of time, especially when building a new database.
By default the Activity File Maintenance Clone program will create exact copies of the selected Activity and its Sections. Additional Options allow you to specify how much information is copied in the event you do not want an exact copy.
Note: To clone the Activity only, open the Clone Linked Tables to this Activity Picklist under Additional Options and de-select "Sections."
Click Here to view Standard File Maintenance Clone Setting field definitions for the top half of the screen. Field definitions for Additional Options specific to this module/program are listed below.
