What is the immediate effect of cloning a Continuity Event?

Cloning a Continuity Event in Mimecast triggers an immediate start for the cloned event. This functionality is particularly important for maintaining uninterrupted communication during continuity scenarios. When an event is cloned, it is essentially creating a new instance of an existing event that can be deployed or executed right away, which enhances organizational responsiveness in times of unexpected disruptions.

The design of this feature emphasizes quick action; by enforcing an immediate start, organizations can ensure that their email continuity processes are activated without unnecessary delays or complications. This capability is essential for maintaining seamless operations and minimizing the impact of any service disruptions.

While the ability to modify settings might exist for the cloned event, the essential characteristic that defines the immediate effect is the urgency of its activation. This functionality aligns with best practices in email security and communication management, ensuring that organizations are always prepared.
