For new Record Types which feature similar layouts to existing ones, it will be faster to duplicate an existing type/layout than to design it from scratch. This helps save time and minimize inconsistencies from Type to Type. The Duplicate Type feature is available for the following Object/Record Types: Contracts, Assignment, Contact, Organization, Document, Request, and Custom Objects. The steps to Duplicate Type are as follows:
Select
from the Application Settings menu.Use the Object Type drop-down to select the type you wish to duplicate.
Select the Type (layout) you wish to duplicate.
Click
at the top.In the Enter New Type Name pop-up window, enter the name of the duplicate record. NOTE: It cannot have the same name as the record type being duplicated.
