Copying a process
As an administrator or an application business analyst, you can copy the out-of-the-box or custom process within an application or to a different application or library, helping you save the time to design a new process definition. The localized alert messages and error messages are also copied along with the process; whereas, the definitions such as records, associations, documents, views, and rules used by the process are referenced from the source application.
The following image describes how the objects are referenced after you copy the process to the target application or library:

- From Target application/library, select the target application or library where you want to copy the process.
- In the Definition name field, type a name for the process definition.
Click Save.
The copied process is displayed in the Process designer UI.
When you copy a process that has input and output variables, these variables are also copied to the target application, and the following warning is displayed:
After copying the process, remove the input and output variables that generate this warning and add the process variable with a relevant Variable ID.
