Manager Action Duplicate Design

The Manager Action 'Duplicate Design' can be used to create a copy of a SmartInstant Design.

It performs the following actions:

1. Duplicate the subtree of an existing design.
2. Generate new names for several design items. For example, a copy of  'Design 3' could be renamed to 'Design 4'.
3. Configure relations and other settings for the new design.
4. Duplicates the WWW/designs/designx folder .
5. Active the new design.

The configuration of the new design is managed by a stored procedure named pr_siConfigureDesign. If you extend the standard design with additional items that requrie special configuration, you can add your own logic to this procedure. In this case, do not forget to set the value ALLOW_AUTO_UPDATE to 0 in the header of the stored procedure. This ensures, your changes are not overwritten by a future update.
