Copy and Paste an Event

You can create a stand-alone event (schedule, task or appointment) in a calendar using copy and paste.

Any events created in this manner are considered stand-alone events, even if the original event that was copied was created from a recurrence.

To Copy an event, right click on an event in the Calendar. Click on the "Copy Selected Event" option from the context menu.

To create the copy (paste) of the event on another day, first click on that day in the calendar to select it, then right click on a blank spot in that day to show the context menu and click on "Paste Copied Event(s)" to create the copy.

This will create a duplicate of the copied event on the second day.

Multiple copies of the event can be created over several days by highlighting multiple days in the calendar.

To select a range of dates, click on the first date to select it and then, holding down the SHIFT key, click on a second date to select the entire range of dates between those two dates.

To select multiple specific dates, click on the first date to select it and then while holding the CTRL key click on each additional date to add them to the selection without selecting the entire range between the selected schedules.

Pasting will create a copy of the event on each of the highlighted dates.

You may also use the "Copy Selected Day" and "Copy Selected Week" options to quickly copy a large number of schedules. You may similarly paste into multiple days or weeks at once by selecting multiple dates.

Common Windows Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V keyboard shortcuts can also be used to copy and paste individual events on calendars.

Quick Clone

Another method of copying events is the Quick Clone feature. This feature allows you to quickly copy an event over several weeks without using a recurring event.

For example, if you are setting up a pattern of schedules on every Friday for only a five week period, it may be easier use the Quick Clone feature to create those schedules instead of adding a recurring schedule.

For open-ended patterns of events or more specialized patterns (e.g. every two weeks, once a month, etc.) using a recurring event is recommended.

To Quick Clone an Event, right click on the event in the calendar. Select the "Quick Clone Event" option from the context menu.

On the screen that pops up, simply select the day(s) of the week to create schedules and how many weeks forward (from the selected event) to create schedules. Click OK and the events will be created.

Once the events have been created, the system will prompt you to report on any warnings or errors that may exist on any of the newly created schedules, in the same manner as errors are reported after generating a recurring schedule.
