How to Duplicate a Work Order

To duplicate a work order, go to the work order that you would like to duplicate, and click Duplicate.

The following popup will open. Enter the number of duplicates you would like to create in the Copies field. 1 will be selected by default. Next, select an existing project if the work orders are part of a project, and enter the work order information. The property, location, and a description are required in order to duplicate the work order.  A purpose is also required and is automatically filled in under the More Details section. You can update it here if needed and add the trade, work category, or other details if necessary. The purpose will match the purpose of the work order being duplicated. Identical means all new copies are identical to each other, not to the original work order. You can modify any details from the original but not between the new copies.

Click Duplicate Work Order to create identical duplicate work orders. 

If each of the copies needs to have different details, deselect Identical and make the changes needed. You will be able to make individual modifications to each copy, such as setting other locations or assigning technicians to each copy. Clicking Next moves you to the next copy to edit its details. After filling in all of the details needed for each copy, click Save & Finish to create the new work orders. 

After the new work orders have been created, a notification will appear confirming success and showing the new work order numbers. Click any number to open its work order.
