# Create a custom clone profile \(legacy\)

Clone profiles enable you to set up exclusions, preservers, and cleanup scripts for specific clone scenarios.

## Before you begin

Role required: clone\_admin or clone\_profile\_admin

## About this task

If you leave the clone profile field empty when requesting a clone, the system uses the exclude tables, data preservers, and cleanup scripts configured under **Clone Admin Console** > **Clone Definition**.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Clone Admin Console** > **Clone profiles**.

2.  Select **New**.

3.  Complete in the form.

    For field information, see [Clone options](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/clone-options.md).

4.  Select **Submit**.

    If you create a data preserver, exclusion, or cleanup script, it isn't automatically added to your clone profiles.

5.  To add a preserver, exclusion, or cleanup script to a clone profile.

    1.  Navigate to **Additional actions** > **Configure** > **Form Layout**.

    2.  Add the preserver, exclusion, or cleanup script to the selected list.
