Duplicate a Link Rule

You use the Link Rules (SP) application to duplicate an existing link rule. You perform this action on the Link Rule tab. You can use this procedure to create a new link rule based on an existing one. Once you duplicate the link rule, the system clears the Link field, and you must enter a new name for the duplicated link rule.

For more information about the components of a link clause, see Link Clauses.
