Important Note: It is recommended to select the same day of the week in the first and third boxes so that the schedule copies forward smoothly.
Do not overwrite any existing schedules
This option will not allow changing schedules that have already been input and is recommended to stay selected if you are simply carrying a schedule further in advance or adding an additional workday to the week.
Only overwrite Work/Blank days
This option will only allow shifts with the work type "Work" selected and days with no work schedule information put in to be overwritten! This means days with the work type set to other options like "Vacation" or "Sick" will not be affected by the copied schedule.
Overwrite all days
By selecting this option, when a schedule is copied, it overwrites all future schedule information no matter the work type.
Email Schedules
Click this button to open a screen that will allow you to send all or a single employee their work schedule for the number of weeks that you choose.
