Clone Data Set

In an organization, you can come across multiple repositories that contain similar data sets. The process of creating data sets and attributes for each system is time-consuming, and most of the data sets and attributes might be similar. To reduce the time and effort, you can clone a data set that contains all the attributes and associate the data set with different systems. You can clone a data set to quickly reuse the data set attributes in different systems instead of creating the attributes again.
You might see a duplication of data across systems or across multiple versions of a system running in different parts of an organization. For example, if you want to run five instances of the same system but in different departments of your organization, you can clone the data set that contains all the attributes.
When you clone a data set, Axon creates and saves a copy of the data set. Axon replicates data to the Summary and Attributes tabs. You can add details in other tabs, such as Stakeholders and Impact, that are not cloned.
After you clone a data set, Axon appends the word (clone) to the data set name. For example, if the data set name is KYC Data, Axon creates a clone of the data set with the name "KYC Data (clone)". You can choose to use the same name or provide a unique name for the cloned data set.

Cloning a Data Set

You can clone a data set along with the attributes in Axon. You can clone one data set at a time.
    1. Open a data set that you want to clone.
    2. Click Edit > Clone Data Set.
    The Clone Data Set dialog box appears and displays a confirmation message.
    3. To clone the data set, click Continue.
    Axon replicates data in the Summary and Attributes tabs. By default, Axon appends the word (clone) to the data set name.
    4. Optionally, edit the name of the data set.
    5. Optionally, update the fields in the remaining tabs that are not cloned.
    6. Click Save and Close.
