Steps to Clone Display Configuration

Task	Process and Helpful Hint
Creating new

Display Click on Clone to the

Display  Configuration through cloning existing policy

While the display configuration is cloned over from your template, you can not only easily edit the display configuration (as demonstrated above), but you can also clone an existing policy to create another. Example: Let’s say you have two policies on your temple (Default and VIP).  Default being the most restrictive and VIP which is the least restrictive (typically very limited restrictions). You now need to configure a third policy that allows for business and first class when traveling internationally.

First configure the default policy

Click Clone to the far right of the default policy group Change Policy Name In this example changing to Manager Policy
