Creating projects from templates
You can use an existing project as a template to create a new project. Settings from the existing project are copied to the new project. This is helpful if you need to create similar projects using the same configuration, but want to manage items separately.
Issues, requirements, requirement documents, test cases, test runs, workbook tasks, and item-related data are not copied to the new project. See Data not copied to new projects.
Note: Legacy TestTrack 2011.1 or earlier native projects must be upgraded before they can be used as templates for new projects. See Upgrading projects.
