Copy a Target in Target Design

A Target can be copied to a Wave, a Process Area, and an Object to be used as the basis for a new Target.

When a Target is copied, its fields and sources and all associated settings, including basic rules and complex rules, are also copied to the Object. The design status does not affect the ability to copy a Target.

NOTE: The destination Wave, Process Area and Object for the copy must be a different Object than the currently selected Object.

To copy a Target in Target Design:

  1. Select Design in the Navigation pane.

  2. Click the Objects icon on the Design page.

  3. Click the Copy Targets icon for an Object.

  4. Click Edit.

    View the field descriptions for the Select Destination Object for Targets page

  5. Select an Object in the Destination Object list box.

    NOTE: A Wave, a Process Area, and an Object must be selected to copy a Target.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Click the Targets to Copy icon.

    NOTE: The number on the button indicates the number of Targets that will be copied. All Targets in the Object are selected by default.

  8. Enable or disable check boxes as appropriate for the Targets that should be copied.

  9. Click Back to return to the Select Destination Object for Targets page.

    NOTE: The number on the Targets to Copy button indicates the number of Targets selected on the Copy Targets page.

  10. Click Copy Targets.

    NOTE: This icon is disabled if the Destination Object list box is blank.

To access the copy of the Target:

  1. Select the Destination Object in the Context bar by clicking the down pointing arrow next to the current context name.
  2. Click Design in the Context bar.
  3. Click the Targets icon.

The Target displays on the Targets page with the original Target name appended by _copy.

NOTE: If multiple copies of the same Target are copied to the same Destination Object, each copied Target name will be followed by _copy and a number incremented by 1 ([Target name]_copy1, [Target name]_copy2 and so on).
