Copy-Paste scheduling

When creating a new work schedule, it's common to rely on existing schedules from the past. With the latest update, you can easily select and copy a portion of the previous schedule to the new one. This allows you to quickly establish a framework for the new schedule, with minor tweaks and adaptations to account for the anticipated needs, absences, and preferences of the employees.

Examples of copying and pasting the schedule for different cell selections.

Copying and pasting the schedule works similarly to Excel spreadsheets - just select the cells you want to copy, choose the target cell (or multiple cells), and paste them. The copy and paste commands are available in the toolbar, the context menu, and by using standard keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+C and CTRL+V).

You can select any range of cells for copying - you can add new cells to the current selection by holding down the CTRL key and clicking on additional cells with the mouse. For pasting, you can select a single cell or multiple cells. If only one cell is selected, the area that corresponds to the copied content will be automatically selected when pasting. If you select multiple cells, the copied cells will be transferred to the target cells in the same order. When pasting, the available shifts in the selected area are automatically taken into account. If the content of the copied cell is not suitable, it will not be transferred.

Copying and pasting also works between tabs and browser windows. This way, you can open the source schedule from which you copy cells in a new browser tab and paste them into a new schedule in another tab. If you have a large enough screen, you can position the browser windows so that the source and new schedules are displayed simultaneously, allowing you to create a new schedule even more efficiently.

Copying is also possible from published* schedules and draft schedules. This way, you can choose a version of the schedule to copy that does not yet contain any changes due to unforeseen employee absences, or you can even prepare a special draft schedule that you will use as a basis for preparing new schedules in the future.
