Glossary

By cloning a model, you can create an identical copy of the model. A cloned model can be useful for the following cases, for example:

Template creation

: A cloned model allows you to create templates that can be reused or shared with others.

Experimentation

: You can use a cloned model to experiment with changes without affecting the original model.

Collaboration

: Cloning a model facilitates collaboration by enabling others to work on a copy of the model without altering the original.

In order to clone a model you need full access to the model or the model needs to be shared with you with the option Allow cloning as a template.

To clone a model:

Navigate to the model on the start page.

Click the three-dot menu and select Duplicate:

If you have other models linked and/or dimensions assigned to the model you want to clone, the Cloning Model name dialog is displayed as follows, for example:

Choose if you want to also Clone X linked models or if you want to Only clone this model.

Choose if you want to Duplicate X dimensions or if you want to Use existing dimensions.

Note: If you duplicate the assigned dimensions, you can adjust the duplicated dimensions for planning different scenarios without changing the exisiting dimensions.
