# Cloning ECHs in RCM

IMS RCM allows you to clone Condition Histories (ECHs) from one FLOC or Equipment to another. This creates a new ECH with the same Condition Date, Checklists, and Tasks.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Cloning is only possible if the target and source FLOC or Equipment types match.

To clone a Condition History:

1. In the Main Menu on any IMS page, click **Condition History** to access the ECH Main Screen (Grid View).
2. Click on the ECH in the grid to open the Condition History Details page.
3. In the upper-right corner, click the *Clone ECH* button.
