Copying service templates
Context
If you need to, you can duplicate (copy) existing service templates.
Use case
Let's say you have a complex service template. You need to create another that is almost identical to the first, minus a few small alterations. You can copy the first template. All of the settings from the first template are copied over to a new template that you can then edit to meet your specifications.
Copied templates are given the same name as the template they were copied from plus the copy number in brackets. For example, if you copied a template "myTemplate-01", the first-time copy would produce a duplicate template named "myTemplate-01[1]".
To copy a service template
- Go to the Service Template Management page (Catalog > Service Template Management).
- Select the service template(s) you want to copy. (Click once to select; click again to deselect.)
- Choose Copy.
- (Optional) You can rename the copied template by modifying it (for details, see Modifying existing service templates).
Duplicated service templates now appear in the list of service templates.
