Working with Quick Copy

Why and when to perform this task

Use Quick Copy to make a copy of a rule that will replace the existing one on a specified date.

For example, suppose that we have an "isSeniorCitizen" rule. Currently a person is considered a senior citizen if they are 62 years of age or older. Starting on January 1, 2002, we are going to change this to 65. Use Quick Copy to specify the new date, and change the age from 62 to 65. The current rule will be set to expire on the same date that the new rule will take effect with the new senior citizen age defined as 65.

To use Quick Copy from the Rule Browser or Search Results window, proceed as follows:

Steps for this task

  1. Select the rules you want to Quick Copy.
  2. From the main menu, click Edit > Quick Copy.
  3. In the Quick Copy window, specify in the following fields how the copy will differ from the original:
    Start Date For New Rule
    Enter the date that the new rule will replace the existing rule. Use the date and time format that is shown.
    Change parameter values for new rule
    Enter the new parameter values.
  4. Click OK to finish.
