Copy Setups Page
Use the Copy Setups option to create data for additional buildings, for previous or future year environments, and for summer school environments. You can select which setups you want to copy and select to synchronize data if you want to delete existing setup records prior to copying the selected records.
Menu path: Select Administration from the main menu, select Utilities submenu, select Mass Entry & Update, and then select Copy Setups.
You should only copy between buildings that have the same setups. For example, you should not copy the Master Schedule from one building to another if the buildings have a different set of cycle days.

Summer School | Select if you want to copy setups to the summer school environment. Leave this box unchecked if you are copying to a regular school year building. If you are copying summer school information from one year to another and the summer school building is also a regular school year building, only copy the options that have an S in the "Select this option to" column in the tables in the Setups to Copy Fields section. Otherwise, you may overwrite building data for the school year you are copying to. |
Delete Existing Setups Before Copy | Select if you want to purge any existing data for the setups you have selected to copy prior to copying data. Use this option with caution. Typically, you should only delete existing data for a setup if the existing data is incorrect and you want to delete all records in the table for the selected building, year, and summer environment and replace the data. You should verify that you have not copied additional records previously that use the existing information. For example, make sure that you do not copy data in a way that results in the cycle days for a building not matching the Master Schedule courses for the building. |
