For more information, see the announcement on CustomerSourcehttps://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/northamerica/news-events/news/RapidStartServicesDiscontinued or PartnerSourcehttps://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/northamerica/news-events/news-events/news/RapidStartServicesDiscontinued.

In Microsoft Dynamics ERP RapidStart Services, you can create a configuration project to use to configure the set of parameter options and records for an implementation of any version of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. After you create a configuration project, you can make a copy of that project and use it as the basis for other projects. You can make a copy of an existing project either before or after the questions in the source configuration project have been answered.

For information about why you might choose to copy a configuration project, see the topic Learn about configuration projects in RapidStart Services.

    Tip

    By default, the project list displays only the projects that you created. To see all configuration projects that have been created for your organization, in the Current view list, select All projects.

  10. In the list of functional areas, select the check box for each functional area to include in the new configuration project.

After the new project has been created, you can access the project from the list of projects. You can then begin making any changes that are required for the target deployment of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.
