Copy Entries for a Task

In the Tasks 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 but not for a specific task, instead see Copy Entries.

  1. Locate the task for which you want to copy entries. On that row, click View. The task opens.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on how many entries you want to copy.

    • Copy one entry: On the table, locate the entry you want to copy. On that row, click Copy. The Copy Entries window opens.

    • Copy multiple entries: On the table, select the checkbox for each entry you want to copy. On the upper right, click Edit and select Copy. The Copy Entries window opens.
