You use this dialog to duplicate loops and typical loops. When opened from the Domain Explorer this dialog enables you to duplicate a loop and when opened from the Reference Explorer it enables you to duplicate a typical loop. The duplicated loop or typical loop properties will be identical to the properties of its existing loop.
Loop Number Data Field — Enables you to type the name of a new loop number. The data field displays the loop number name template that is based on the loop naming convention. You can type any character (letters, digits, spaces, and so forth).
