Copy Entries

In the Entries module, you can add new entries by copying existing entries. While copying entries, you can change the form, status, or task for all copied entries or leave them unchanged. Admins can also copy the entries to a different incident.

For example, if you want to collect multiple types of data for one location, you could copy an entry for that location multiple times and select a different form for each copy.

If you want to copy entries for a specific task, instead see Copy Entries for a Task.
