## Fields: Network Definition Copy

The fields of the Network Definition Master Copy window are described in the following table.

Note
You cannot copy a network to an existing network, or a version to an existing version.

Field/Section | Description
--- | ---
From | The From section contains read-only fields with the name and version (if applicable) of the network selected for copying and the owner to which the network belongs.
To | The To section contains modifiable target fields where the Owner field is preset to the name of the owner of the selected network. Enter the names required to specify the new network and its target environment. You can use an asterisk (`*`) as a wildcard to open a selection window with a list of available owner or network names. To clone a network version, make sure that the From and To owners and networks are identical, and enter a different To network version.
with Schedule | Possible values:
`N` | The schedule linked to the source network will not be copied (default).
`Y` | The schedule of the source network will also be copied. The current day will be excluded to prevent an unwanted immediate activation. The current schedule table will be copied from the day following the current day until the end of the current year. The execution history will not be copied.
with Grants | `N` | Other users/owners granted access to the source network will not be copied to the new network (default). The new network will only have access rights for the current user/owner. See also Granting Definition: Authorizing Other Users or Owners to Access a Network.
`Y` | Other users/owners granted access to the source network will be copied to the new network, in addition to the current user/owner.
