Using Copy Settings, the user can manage the units of the organization in a convenient and time-saving manner. Using this solution, the user can duplicate parts or all of the settings from one unit to one or more other units within the organization.
As a result, the settings from the source unit will overwrite all of the existing settings in the target unit/s.
Users can duplicate the following fields:
General Preferences
Additional Information
Events
IOs
Display Flags
