How to clone an activity

Apart from editing an existing activity, you can also clone an existing activity.  In this case, you can relaunch an existing activity on a different start date without keeping the attendee list of the original activity.  This feature can be used as a time-saving template for future activities.

Both a recurring activity and a single instance activity can be cloned.

1.  In the back office, go to ACTIVITIES > Items

2.  On the Activities page, locate the activity you want to clone from the list.

3.  In the Action column, select Clone from the drop-down list. 

After you have chosen the clone option, you will be taken to a copy of the activity within the Details page.

After cloning, the message This is a cloned activity. The start date has been set to the current date will appear at the top in the copied activity to avoid editing the original version by mistake.

All specifications are kept except for the Start Date (this is set to the current date) together with the attendee list, which is cleared for the clone copy.

4.  You can now modify the cloned activity with all details of the new activity.

5..  If you are finished editing your copied activity, click on the blue [Save activity] button at the bottom of the screen.

Once the cloned activity has been saved, the activity item list does not indicate if it is a cloned or original version.
