Duplicating Projects

Follow these steps to duplicate any project in SAS Model Studio.

  1. On the Projects page, click Options on the tile for a project and select Duplicate from the menu. If you are using the table view of the Projects page, select the project from the row and use the Options icon at the top right corner of the page.
  2. Provide a name for the project in the Name field.
  3. For Location, the folder that was most recently selected is shown, or My Folder if a folder has never been selected. The drop-down list includes My Folder and up to five of the most recently selected folders, if any.

    You have two options.

    • Choose the current selection or one of the drop-down options for storing the duplicated project.
    • Click Browse. The Choose a Location window opens for you to choose a different folder to store the project.

      To create a new folder, select My Folder on the left and then click New folder in the upper right corner.

      Select the folder to store the project and click OK to return to the Duplicate Project window.

      Note: Many of the folders listed on the left side of the Choose a Location window can be selected but should be avoided. Selecting these folders makes the project visible to other users but does not grant access to all resources used within the project to the other users. This can unintentionally make the project available for other users. It can also lead to errors encountered when other users open and attempt to edit your project. For best results, use either My Folder or a folder that you or your system administrator has created for your use.
  4. Click Save.

The duplicated project is loaded to the Projects page.
