Query Reuse by Independent Duplication [AX 2012]

Updated: February 14, 2012

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

The Application Object Tree (AOT) can duplicate an existing query with just a few mouse clicks. This avoids the labor of manually creating the duplicate query the same way that the original query was created. In this sense, the duplication feature is a kind of query reuse.

The following steps describe how to duplicate a query.

  1. In the AOT, right-click the existing query that you want to duplicate.

  2. Click Duplicate, which creates a new query named CopyOf Queryname.

After the duplicate query is created, changes to the original query do not affect the duplicate.

Unlike a composite query, a duplicate query can be modified any way that you want. For more information, see Query Reuse by Composite Queries.
