Create a Template from a Schedule

OBJECTIVE

To create a Template from a Schedule to use in future Projects.

BACKGROUND

For users who have several projects that encompass a similar scope of work, it is often easier to use a schedule template instead of creating a new schedule for each project. ConstructionOnline allows users to do just that, in turn saving them valuable time.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

• While a schedule template duplicates the schedule tasks, start and end dates will have to be edited for each project the template is used for.
