Create 'Duplicate' Calendar

If you need to create a period calendar that is very similar to an existing period calendar, then you could use Find History to load settings for the existing period calendar, and then change the settings as required.

In this example you created a fortnightly Period Calendar for 2013-2014 (FA - Fortnightly A) and you want to create a second fortnightly Period Calendar for 2013-2014 (FB - Fortnightly B).

  1. In the Period Calendars Creation Tool, click the Find History button to display the Period Calendars History form.

    PeriodCalendarsHistory-Fortnightly

  2. Select the FA - Fortnightly A history record to populate the Period Calendars Creation Tool fields with the values that you set up for the first fortnightly calendar.
  3. Enter the following values:

    Field

    Values

    Period

    FB

    Description

    Fortnightly B

    Accept the remaining values because FB - Fortnightly B uses the same records as FA - Fortnightly A.

  4. Click Preview Only and check the resultant audit log.

    The tool will not create any new Period records so the log will display "(Period already exists)", but it will create a new calendar.

  5. Click Run Update to create the FB - Fortnightly B calendar.
