Good to know

Copy can replace work already planned in the new week. It keeps days off already there. It does not repeat last week’s absences or approved late/early exceptions.

Check when you are done

Check hours, rooms, breaks, and days off. Publish the new week when it is ready.

Walkthrough: Duplicating Schedules & Adding Holidays

  1. Open Team > Schedule and select the destination week.

  2. Use Copy last week or the week menu’s repeat-ahead action, then review the target dates and affected staff before confirming.

  3. To mark a holiday, choose the date and intended staff scope, review the effect, and confirm.

  4. Use Un-mark holiday if the holiday marking was a mistake, then review the day and rebuild any needed shifts.

Copying, repeating and holiday actions can affect multiple staff records. Review the result rather than assuming every shift was copied or that removing a holiday automatically restores the previous schedule.

The recording uses one center’s example data and settings. Names, amounts, dates, counts and policy choices are examples. Follow the written guidance above where recording labels differ.
