From an existing hierarchy, you select the part of the hierarchy that you want to copy for creating a new hierarchy. Whether you select the root node or not, the copied hierarchy includes all relationships from the selected node down.
You must select a different relationship type for the copied hierarchy. Only relationship types that contain all the relationship roles of the original hierarchy are available. For example, if the hierarchy that you are copying from contains a total of six relationship roles, the available relationship types for the copied hierarchy must have at least those six roles.
Note: If no relationship types are available for the copied hierarchy, your administrator can create relationship types with the roles you need.
You copy the hierarchy as it is on the date you specify, even if you were viewing the original hierarchy as of another date.
Your new hierarchy is named the usual way, based on the root node and the relationship type.
