Cloning a device using drag-n-drop

To clone a device using drag-and-drop:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, click the Devices tab, then click Devices.
2. In either the Details View or Map View, click the device (or multiple devices) for which you want to clone attributes, then drag the device(s) to the device group where you want the device(s) to appear. The Copy, Move, Clone, Cancel menu appears.
3. Click Clone. A status dialog appears indicating the cloning process status.
4. Click Close to complete the cloning process.

   Note: The new cloned device display name is as shown in the following device name example:
   - Original name: Device-WHO
   - First clone (in new group): Device-WHO
   - Second clone: Device-WHO - Clone
   - Third clone: Device-WHO - Clone (2)
   - Subsequent clones: Device-WHO - Clone (nnn)

   Tip: You can also use the Device Properties - Notes dialog to verify if a device is a cloned device. Right-click the device you want to check, then click Properties > Notes. If the device is a cloned device, a message appears; for example, This device was cloned on 6/24/2010 10:12:37 AM.

5. Change the cloned device properties as required. For more information, see Changing the cloned Device Properties.

Important: Cloning a device consumes one additional point when using WhatsUp Gold with a TotalView licensing package.
