Clone Classification Record

You can clone classification records in the event a new record has similar attributes to an existing one.

The system performs the following actions when cloning a classification record:

  • Creates a new classification record with a Classification ID comprised of the original item's ID followed by an incremental number.

  • Copies the classification details of the original item.

  • Copies any associated records, such as failures, specifications, parts, Labor/Contacts, contracts, documents, and PM schedules.

Clone a classification record:

  1. Access the classification record you want to clone.

  2. Click Clone.

    A dialog box opens, asking you to confirm your choice.

  3. Click Yes.

    Maintenance Connection clones the record and displays the new record on the page. The new record will have a Classification ID that matches the cloned record, with the addition of an incremental number. For example, if the cloned record had a Classification ID of Air Filter, the newly created item could have a Classification ID of Air Filter-2. The name of the new record will be the same as the cloned item.

  4. Make your changes.

  5. Click Save.
