Copying a Folder Class

Use Copy to duplicate an existing folder class. You can copy folder classes to do the following:

  • Use an existing folder class to create a new folder class with similar features.

  • Copy an existing folder class to another batch class.

When you paste a copied folder class, it is given a different name, such as Name1, Name 2, or Name3. You can then modify the folder class as needed. When copying a folder class, the following items are copied and linked to the copied folder class:

  • Folder validation scripts

  • Setup custom storage strings
