In this post we will talk about cloning escalation rules for similar set of functionalities. Let’s consider below shown email reminder rule on escalations.

As you can see in above screen I have highlighted a field which says Available for Cloning. By selecting this field the escalation rule of Email Reminder will be available for cloning new rules in CRM. Once above change is saved, at the time of adding any new rule, we will find the rule created above for cloning. Refer below screenshot.

By choosing the required option from the list system will automatically copy the Trigger SQL Clause, Workflow Actions and other settings of existing escalation rule on saving the same. We just need to have a different rule name. See below screenshot for your reference.

Once saved, a new escalation will be available in the list of rules. To see the details of newly created escalation we have to click on Rule Name hyperlink. If required we can make modifications in the new escalation. See the below screenshot for your reference.

The best part of above configurations is, if you want to do any changes in basic script you just have to implement them in Base escalation rules and cloned escalation rules will automatically take them up.
