Copy Event

Copy Event / Set Recurrence

This is a useful feature that was added with Release 23 simply click the Copy / Duplicate button next to any event, it gives you the ability to copy events if you have a semi regular event taking place and also saves you the effort of recreating it from scratch. If you have a recurring event it gives you the ability to schedule the recurrence too.
Once clicked you will see a pop up for recurring events, it will Copy The name as it is, though this and other aspects can be changed for a handful of events at a later date for example if you were to host a weekly club night event, but wanted to make a one of themed night for Hallowe'en or such you could Rename / Edit an individual event.

• Frequency

• Fornightly
• Monthly
• Other

Other allows users to set the event to recur every X number of days

• End After

• Specific number of occurrences
• Or by specific date

Remember, when duplicating events, it copies every aspect of the event, so if you are going to have tickets for the events make sure you have created these on the events you are about to copy as otherwise you will still have to manually create the tickets for each event!
