Copying projects

Last updated: 2023-03-02

If you have two projects that are very similar, you can copy project information from one project to a new project in Preconstruction. You can edit the new project in Preconstruction and attach it to a proposal.

1. On the Project Overview component, search for the project to copy.
   
   
2. Select Open Row Actions Menu | Copy on the project row.
   
   
   
3. Enter the project ID in the New Project ID field. Enter the project ID including the hyphens so it matches FIIPS. Entering the project ID correctly ensures the project is kept up-to-date during the monthly FIIPS import process.
   
   
4. Click <Copy>. All the data from the original project is copied to the new project.
   
   
   
   
   
5. After the new project is created, the designer MUST set the Workflow and Workflow Phase. Go to Setting the initial WisDOT Workflow to the Project Definition Phase and complete the steps outlined.
   
   
6. Designer should then go to Updating the project (design estimate creation process) to begin the design estimate creation process by updating the Project Summary first.
