This tool will enable the profile Designer to incorporate data from one or more other profiles, reducing the need for double-entry.

To start this Wizard, open the course profile that is to receive the new data and click Clone From Wizard in the left-side menu. (Note that this option is not available for profiles which have already been Published.)

Before starting the Wizard, make sure no other course profiles are open in other windows as this may have undesirable results.

ECPS Cloning

If the clone was successful, a green SUCCESS! message will now be displayed in the upper-right. You will also notice a Log section, which will display details of exactly what was removed and copied.

It is recommended that at this point you should check the profile to ensure that it contains the required data. You can also edit the profile as normal to ensure that it is an accurate representation of this course.
