How to duplicate an item
 
To duplicate an item:
1. In SysManager, in the DCI, select an existing item.
2. Click the DUPL button in the DCI.
3. A duplicated item is created within that same department and category; simply create a new nickname and description for the item and modify other settings (price, etc.) if needed.
 
Note: From this point, you can also create new or duplicated items from on the Item Configuration dialog (no need to return to the main DCI – simply use the NEW or DUPL selection found on the far right-hand side of the Item Creation dialog). You are prompted to save your existing item before creating a new or duplicated one. Ensure that the new items you create are included in the proper department and category.
 
To duplicate an item across department and category:
1. Open (Edit) the item you wish to duplicate.
2. Set the new department and category using the lists on the right. You now see that department and category listed at the top of the Item dialog.
3. Click the DUPL button on the right side of the screen.
4. Give the item a new nickname.
5. You do not see the items listed in their new DCI until you close and reopen the DCI.
 
Note:  You must set the new department and category first before clicking the DUPL button or this does not work.
