Copy and Delete Weeks
Available to: Owner, Admin
Two shortcuts to speed up schedule management: copying a previous week's shifts and deleting an entire week at once.
Copying from a previous week
If this week's schedule looks similar to last week's, copy it instead of starting from scratch.
- Navigate to the week you want to fill
- Make sure the week is empty (no existing shifts)
- Click the Copy from Previous Week button
- All shifts from the previous week are duplicated into the current week
Rules for copying
- The current week must be empty. If it already has shifts, the copy button is not available.
- Shifts are copied with the same employee, area, and times.
- Copied shifts come in as drafts, so you can review and adjust before publishing.
- Only the immediately previous week is used as the source.
After copying
Review the copied shifts and make adjustments:
- Remove shifts for employees who are on leave this week
- Adjust times if the upcoming week has different needs
- Add any extra shifts that weren't in the previous week
Deleting an entire week
Sometimes you need a clean slate -- maybe the auto-generated schedule wasn't great, or plans changed completely.
- Navigate to the week you want to clear
- Click the Delete Week button
- Confirm the deletion
All shifts for that week are removed. This cannot be undone.
What gets deleted
- All shifts for every day in that week
- Both draft and published shifts
What stays
- Time tracking records are not affected. If hours were already logged for that week, they remain.
- Leave requests for that week stay in place.
Tip: Copy from previous week is the fastest way to build a schedule when your staffing pattern is consistent. Copy first, then tweak the differences.
Common workflow
A typical weekly scheduling routine:
- Navigate to the upcoming week
- Copy from last week (if the pattern is similar) or auto-generate
- Adjust for this week's specifics -- vacations, holidays, special events
- Review the schedule
- Publish
