If you are setting up a location very similar to one that already exists, you do not have to configure everything from scratch. Duplicating creates a new location based on the one you chose and brings over its positions, settings and shift templates — you only give a new name and address details. That saves time when you open another shop, department or branch with the same configuration.

The action is available to the Organisation Administrator and the Advisor.

How to duplicate a location

1. Go to the "Locations" tab in the top bar.
2. On the location you want to copy, click the ⋮ icon (three dots) at the end of the row and choose "Duplicate location".

3. In the "Duplicate location" window fill in the basic details of the new location:

• Name — required; it has to differ from the names of existing locations.
• Location code — optional; if you give one, it has to be unique. More in What is the location code?.
• Address details — Country, Street, Postcode, City.
• Description — optional.

4. Click "Save". The new location will appear in the list. To close the window without creating a copy, click "Cancel".

What gets copied

The following are brought over from the source location to the new one:

• Positions together with their settings (billability, visibility) — see Managing positions and tags in locations.
• Shift templates assigned to those positions.
• The planning, general and work hours settings and the location's opening hours.
• The region (the assignment within the structure) — only if the source location has one set.

What the copy does not contain

A duplicate is an "empty" location ready to work — it copies the configuration but not the operational data. The following do not carry over to the new location:

• the assigned employees,
• schedules and planned shifts,
• time tracking entries.

You add employees to the new location separately (for example by import — see Importing employees from a file), and you plan the schedule from scratch.
