About this task

You can use the existing UI type to create a new UI type. The existing UI type works as a base for the new UI type in which you can modify UI type definition. You can change the parameter values, add new parameters, or delete the existing parameters.

  3. From the UI types list, select the existing UI type to create a new UI type.
  4. Click the Duplicate icon to create a copy of the selected UI type.

  5. In the Add new UI type window, enter the ID for the new UI type, and click Ok.
