Copying Assigned Shifts to Future Weeks

You can copy shifts using either the 8 Week View or the 16 Week View.

The instructions below use the 8 Week View. See Employee Schedule Selectors for information on using the selectors.

To Copy a Shift Assignment into the Future

1. Click the Schedule tab. The Schedule screen displays.

2. Click the 8 Week View button. The 8 Week View Schedule displays.

   

3. Apply any of the selectors, as appropriate, to locate the employees to which you wish to copy a schedule.

Note: When you identify an employee for whom you wish to copy a shift, make sure that the shift you want to copy from is in the left-most date column.

4. Click the Extend button in the Tools section to display the #weeks selection menu.

   

5. Select the number of weeks the shift will be copied to in the future. The message, "Click cells to copy from." appears in the Submit section.

6. Click the cells to copy from for the appropriate employee. If you do not select cells that are in the left most date column for the selected employee, you receive a warning. When you make the appropriate selection, the selected shift is highlighted in pink.

   

7. Click Save in the Submit section to save your changes.

   

The screen refreshes and the message, "Data saved - success." displays in the Submit window. The shift has now been copied for the appropriate number of weeks for the employee.

CAUTION: When you copy a shift, the "Copy To" begins in the second date column, so if there was a schedule there previously, it is over-written with the new 'copied' schedule.
