temporary copy

A temporary copy of a formula or item enables you to experiment with ingredients and their amounts without losing the original formula structure. You have the choice of saving or disregarding your temporary changes. Temporary copies of objects are maintained on the machine you are using to create the copy. The copy does not show in the database unless you save it to the original object name. If you create a temporary object, other users cannot access it. If you close the form where you created the temporary object without saving it, the temporary object is no longer accessible.
