Overview

You can make copies of all Universal Controller records, including scripts, using the standard method for Copying a Record: selecting Insert on the Action menu.

However, this method does not make copies of any records that are associated with the copied record. For scripts, Insert does not make copies of any Notes that are associated with the script.

The Copy option allows you to make a complete copy of a script, including all of its Notes.

Copying One or More Scripts from a Scripts List

Step 1

From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Other > Scripts to display the Scripts list.

Step 2

Locate the script(s) you want to copy (see Filtering).

Step 3

Copy the script(s):
 
Copy One Script

  1. Right-click the Script Name.
  2. On the Action menu, select Copy. A Copy Script pop-up dialog displays.

  1. Enter a new name for the script and, optionally, select any Business Services that you want the script assigned to.
  2. Click Submit to create a copy of the script.

  

Copy Multiple Scripts

  1. Ctrl-Click the scripts you want to copy.
  2. Right-click any of the selected scripts.
  3. On the Action menu, select Copy.
  4. On the Confirmation pop-up that displays, click OK. The copied scripts are added to the list, with - Copy added as a suffix to the Script Name for each script. If a script with that - Copy name already exists, another copy is not created.

Copying a Script from the Script Details

Step 1

Select a script from the Script list. The Script Details for that script displays.

Step 2

Either:

  • Click the Copy button.
  • Right-click the Details to display the Action menu, and then click Copy.

A Copy Script pop-up dialog displays.
 

Step 3

Enter a new name for the script and, optionally, select any Business Services that you want the script assigned to.

Step 4

Click Submit to create a copy of the script.

Copy Permissions

To copy a Script, you must have both Read permission and Copy command permission for the Script you are copying, in addition to having Create permission for the copied Script.
