      Copy and Paste Schedule Tasks or Groups within a Schedule

      Easily duplicate schedule tasks within a Schedule in ConstructionOnline.

      OBJECTIVE

      To duplicate schedule tasks within a schedule by utilizing the Copy and Paste functions.

      BACKGROUND

      ConstructionOnline Scheduling provides advanced tools for creating, managing, and sharing detailed construction schedules. For a more efficient and easy-to-use experience, users are able to directly copy & paste schedule tasks and groups within a schedule. Scheduling is a live feature and updates as changes are made, ensuring your project team is always up to date. 

      THINGS TO CONSIDER

      • Company Employees must have Schedule Permissions set to Create, Edit, & Delete in order to Create & Edit Schedules, Schedule Tasks, and Schedule Groups.
      • When a schedule task with predecessors is copied & pasted to a new location, the associated predecessors do not transfer to the new task.

      When a task is copied, the following fields are included:

      Name, Start/End dates, Complete/Incomplete task status, Traffic Light color, Number of workdays, Description, Notes, Priority, Status, Reminders, Resources, Predicted man-hrs, and Actual man-hrs.

      • The Copy & Paste functionality for schedules is not available in the ConstructionOnline Mobile App.
