Copying and Pasting Employee Schedules
Copying schedules can be done with cut and paste, or by the drag and drop method.
Cut and Paste
The Copy and Paste options allow you to make a duplicate of one or more employee schedules and then to paste in another cell for the same or different employee. The copied schedules will have the same assignment information as the original, such as activity code or profile. You can paste this same schedule into as many cells as needed.
Note
If you paste into a cell that already has a schedule, the behavior of the original schedule is determined by indicator SS Application: SS Solution Standard 5, "Determines the copy and paste method used by the Schedule screen".
If the indicator is set to:
-
A - the new schedule is appended, leaving the original schedule in place.
-
O - the new schedule overwrites (deletes) the original schedule.
To copy and paste employee schedules, complete the following steps:
-
In the schedule grid, click the cell or cells with the schedules to be copied.
If a cell has more than one schedule and you want to copy only one of them, click the schedule itself to highlight it.
A range of cells can be selected by holding Shift as you click or by clicking and dragging. These cells can span multiple days in a row and across multiple employees. Alternatively, click an employee's name to select all the days for that employee, or click a day in the date header to select all the employees for that day.

Drag and Drop Method
Employee schedules can be easily copied from one cell to another using the "drag-and-drop" method. Schedules can be copied either to the same employee or to other employees. The copied schedule will have the same assignment information as the original, such as activity code or profile.
