Copying an Organization Profile

You use the Organizations module to copy an existing organization profile. For example, if you need to add a new organization profile that closely resembles an existing organization profile, you can copy the existing organization profile, make the necessary changes to the profile information, and save that profile as the profile for a new organization.

You must have access to the Profiles modules to make changes to site terms, profile definitions, and profiles. For information about Business Desk permissions, see About Business Desk Security.

Note

• To edit a property that is defined as a join key that has been used to collect data, you must first delete the database column that the property is mapped to. After you delete the database columns, you must migrate the old data into the new database columns. Commerce Server 2002 does not support modifying the join key property when you have persisted data.
