Creating Clone of Destination Element

Cloning means generating replicas of the destination elements or nodes. You can create clones of all destination elements.

Steps to create a clone

1. Ensure that the source and destination layouts are loaded and all their elements are listed under their respective nodes.

2. Select the destination element, click more icon and then select the CloneNode option to open Clone Node: Record window.
   
   
   
   

   You can create a clone of all destination nodes except the root node. Thus, the Clone Node sub-option is displayed as inactive for the root node.

3. Select the number from the drop-down list of Number of Clone(s) and click Create Clone(s).
   
   
   
   

   You can create a maximum of 300 occurrences of an element, with one main element and 299 clones.
4. The element which is created using cloning is displayed with the suffix [1] after its name. Subsequent clones that are created for that element will have the suffix [2] and so on.

Removing Clone of Destination Element
 

Steps to remove a clone

1. Ensure that the source and destination layouts are loaded  and all their elements are listed under their respective nodes.

2. Select the cloned element that you want to remove, click more icon and then select the Remove Clone option.
   
   
   
   

3. A screen is displayed confirming the removal of the selected clone.
   
   
   
   

4. Click Yes to remove the clone. This removes the selected clone from the destination layout.
   
   

   If more than one clone has been created for an element, then you need to remove the clones in descending order.
