Tips for Copying a Map
The idea that a shortcut saves time is not always accurate.
Creating a map from scratch can be time-consuming, but does copying a map really save time? Always use caution and follow the tips below:
• Always rename a map before saving changes to prevent over writing a production map.
• Use the Map preview report to look for all variables and nested maps that may not be obvious.
• Review all Text fields and Qualifiers – these are often custom fields.
• Check for SQL statements
