If you are submitting permits for multiple properties using the same system design, the clone feature lets you duplicate an existing project and carry over its scope. You can then update the property-specific details for each new application without re-entering the project scope each time.
When to use clone
Clone is useful when the technical scope stays the same but the property changes. Common examples include a contractor installing the same solar and battery design across multiple homes, or submitting the same scope for every address in a large subdivision. Build out the first application in full, clone it for each additional property, then update the address, owner details, and plan uploads for each one.
What gets cloned and what does not
Cloning copies the project scope, jurisdiction, and site details into a new project.
It does not copy:
- Contractor and owner information
- Uploaded files and plan sets
- Affidavits
- Valuation
Important: You will need to fill in these details on each cloned project before submitting. Note that if the new property is in a different city or county, you may need to update the jurisdiction and fill in additional details after cloning.
Working on a revision?
You do not need to use clone for revisions. Revisions already inherit the details from the original project. You can access your original project from the My Projects page to start a revision.
How to clone a project
You can clone a project from the My Projects page or from inside an open project.
- Find the project you want to clone.
- Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮).
- Click Clone.
Symbium creates a copy as a new project. You can rename it right away or return to it later.
