Cloning a device from the right-click menu

To clone a device from the right-click menu:

1. From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, in the Device List or Map View, right-click the device for which you want to clone attributes. The right-click menu appears.
2. Click Clone. The Clone selected items from x to .... dialog appears.
3. Select the group that you want to clone the device into, then click OK. 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.
