With the x.2.6 release of Enterprise Scheduler, you can easily copy & paste events in the schedule. This is useful when needing to add an additional visit for a technician as a follow-up or adding an additional technician to a scheduled event. These are called secondary events. The copied event works the same as the original (primary) event as far as technician notification via e-mail and the copied events are easily identified as they are displayed in italics on the schedule. Secondary events can then be moved around the same as a primary event.
To copy an event, simply select the event and perform a right mouse click. In the dropdown list, select ‘Copy’ (or optionally use CTRL-C after selecting the event). The following window shows the Copy function from the dropdown list.
Copy example
Once the event is copied into your clipboard, you can then position to another date/time on the calendar and right mouse click again. This time the dropdown list will have the Paste selection available. Selecting Paste will place the event on the schedule starting at the point of the mouse or cursor. See the example below.
After pasting the event on the schedule, you should see the new secondary event shown as follows:

This new feature makes it much easier to create secondary events over the previous release which required a drag-and-drop from the Scheduled Events Pane after locating the desired event in the tree list.
Enjoy!!
