Copy

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:

  1. 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.

  2. Use one of following methods to copy schedules:

    • Right-click to display the menu and select Copy. OR

    • From the tool bar, select the Edit menu, then the Copy option. OR

    • On the keyboard, press Ctrl-C.

  3. Highlight the cell where the schedules should be pasted.

  4. Use one of following methods to paste schedules:

    • Right-click to display the menu and select Paste. OR

    • From the tool bar, select the Edit menu, then the Paste option. OR

    • On the keyboard, press Ctrl-V.

    The schedule you copied is now assigned to the highlighted cells.

A schedule can also be copied using the drag-and-drop method. For more information, see Copying and Pasting Employee Schedules.
