Occasionally several versions of an item may be held by the Registry. Each copy will require a new record with slightly modified data to be created. To allow this to be done with the minimum of user input there is a Duplicate option available.
Enter the selection criteria to locate the Material to be duplicated
Choose OK to search for the Material
Choose Cancel to avoid searching.
All items matching the selection criteria will be displayed. Scroll through them using the Navigation Buttons until the required Material is shown.
Choose Duplicate to create a copy of the Material.
The system will display all fields that may be modified in yellow.
The Security Number will be blanked out, the CopyNumber of the Material will be set to 1 and the Entered Date, Mustered Date will be set to the Current System Date but all these fields can be overridden if required.
Modify any other information as required
Choose OK to save the duplicated Material.

The system will then generate the Security Number if required.
