Copy model data

You can copy model data from one year and model to another model type. This allows you to quickly replicate model configurations without exporting and importing files.

What copy model does

Copying a model:

  • Copies expenses (data)

  • Copies rules and mappings

  • Applies to a target model and year

  • Works between different model type (e.g., Spend → Budget)

  • Copying will overwrite existing data and rules in the target model and year.

  • Copy does not include the upload rules.
