Option Description Copy Entire Plan Select this option to copy the entire plan, including custom tabs, fields, and grids, into the new plan. Copy Structure Only Select this option to copy the plan's basic structure, but exclude the following information: Planned Hours, Planned Cost, Planned Billing, Baseline Hours, Baseline Cost, and Baseline Billing values. Copy Top Down Plan Only Select this option to copy information from the Top Down Planning tab only; it does not copy the plan structure. If you map the copied plan to Info Center records, the new plan will contain any actual hours and amounts specified in the original plan.
