Links in groups are arranged in alphabetical order. Duplicating a link may result in changing the priority of running links in batch mode. For batch mode, the Import Utility runs the group links one after another with the link that appears right under the group name in the Link Explorer having the highest priority. After duplicating a link, you might need to rearrange the order of your links manually. For details, see Prioritize Links in a Link Group.
-
In the Link Explorer, select the group containing the link you want to duplicate.
-
Select the link you want to duplicate.
-
Select (Edit Links).
-
On the Link Definitions dialog, in the Link box, type a unique name for the link you want to create by duplicating the existing link.
-
If needed, modify the source settings.
-
Select Save as new link.
-
Select Apply and then Close.
We recommend that you do not modify the import method when duplicating a link. This is because the source link properties are also duplicated and might be not applicable for a new link if you change the import method. For example, suppose your source import link properties include multi-tag spec options and the link is assigned to the Module (multiple tables) import method. If you change the import method to Single table, select a specification table, and save the link under a new name, the multi-tag spec option properties are applied to the new link as well. You cannot manually dissociate these properties from the duplicated link because the multi-tag spec options are disabled on the Link Properties dialog when the link is assigned to the Single table method.
