For awards that reoccur every year, a new award code should be setup for each year in order to monitor nominations and give recognition. In an effort to save time, an existing award can be copied in order to create a new award. Once an award has been selected to be copied, you can define which aspects of the award you want to copy in order to allow for specific configuration of the new award.
To copy an existing award:
1. From the Manage Awards Programs search screen, search for the appropriate award.
2. From the Awards Program Awards section, select the appropriate award to copy and click Copy Award.
The Copy Award window displays, as shown below.
