Employee > Work Schedule

Copy Schedules

This screen allows you to copy a schedule you have created for one week to as many weeks as you wish (up to a year out). 

Copy Schedule Options
Select either All Employees or Single Employee. If you select Single Employee, you must select the employee from the drop-down list.

Copy Weeks

Schedule to Copy

Select the weeks you wish to copy forward. For example, if you choose to copy the Next 2 Weeks, this will copy this week's schedule and next week's schedule forward.

Copy Options

Choose whether to Copy ALL scheduled days which would include shifts of varying work types like vacation or education or Only copy work days which would only copy shifts with the work type "work" selected. 

Number of Times to Copy Schedule

Enter the number of times you wish to copy forward the schedule.

Copy By Date Range

Copy Start Date

Select the beginning date of the date range that you wish to copy. This defines the date range that you want copied.

Copy End Date

Select the last date of the date range that you wish to copy. This defines the date range that you want copied.

Paste Start Date

Choose the day that you wish the copying to begin on. This designates which date to begin duplicating the date range entered above.

Do not overwrite any existing schedules

This option will not allow changing schedules that have already been input and is recommended to stay selected if you are simply carrying a schedule further in advance or adding an additional workday to the week.

Only overwrite Work/Blank days

This option will only allow shifts with the work type "Work" selected and days with no work schedule information put in to be overwritten! This means days with the work type set to other options like "Vacation" or "Sick" will not be affected by the copied schedule.

Overwrite all days 

By selecting this option, when a schedule is copied, it overwrites all future schedule information no matter the work type.
