Have you ever had to put multiple events in the calendar at events.wayne.edu that were so similar you wished there was a way to just copy your event instead of re-entering all that data? We’ve been working on an event copy feature and now it’s available for you to use.

Want to copy an event?

When you have a new event that closely resembles a previous event you can now use your previous event as a template for your new event. You’ll have to know where to look for the copy event link though. We decided to tuck the event management links away to clean up the page and make it a little easier to scan for your event. Mousing over the event with reveal the Copy Event link as well as any other event management links available on your event.

Need to copy your RSVP too?

Event copying doesn’t stop at the event. If your event has an attached RSVP you can also choose to copy the RSVP along with your event. At the bottom of the copy event screen you’ll see a few extra fields (this will only display if your event has an attached RSVP). The only catch is that the short name has to be unique, so you’ll need to come up with a new short name for this rendition of your RSVP. If selected the entire RSVP will be copied and attached to your new event.
