Copy a test definition to create a draft that you can edit, instead of building a similar test from the start.

## Before you begin

The test definition must be saved.

Role required: sn_st_mgmt.test_def_manager

Use test definitions to identify the root cause of service problems across service types, product models, and inventory.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Test ManagementTest DefinitionsAll.
2. Select the test definition that you want to copy.
3. Select Copy.

## Result

* Test measure definitions, with their threshold rules and measure consequences.

If a related record can't be copied, the system shows a message that lists the record types.
