Copying an Item

Copy your Items from past projects into current projects or within the same project.

Copying an Item will retain the Item Name and Description, but you can update these along with the Status, Assignee, Due Date,  Milestone, and Events in step one of the copy process.  In step two, you can modify the categories assigned to the new Item to match the categories available in the destination project.  In step three, you can add or remove file attachments for the new Item.  Cost, Schedule Impact, and Contingencies/Allowances can be edited after creating the Item.
