Duplicating policies
Instead of recreating similar policies from scratch, you can duplicate an existing one to a different policy group.
When you duplicate a policy, you can reuse some of the existing parameter values and modify those you wish to change.
How to duplicate a policy
- In the FortiDLP Console, on the left-hand sidebar, click
.
- Click the policy group containing the policy you want to duplicate.
- On the row of the relevant policy, click
> Duplicate.

- Select the checkbox of the policy group(s) you want to duplicate the policy to, or select the All checkbox to duplicate it to all groups.
- Click Apply.
The duplicated policy will display within your selected policy group(s) with the previous policy name, appended with (Copy)). For guidance on editing policies, see Configuring policy templates. A duplicated policy is not effective unless it is enabled within a policy group and that policy group is republished.
