Copy last week
Reuse a week you already built instead of starting from an empty grid.
Most weeks look a lot like the one before. Copying takes the shifts from the week immediately before the week you're viewing and re-creates them seven days later — same people, same days, same times — so all you have to do is fix the differences.
- 1
Open the week you want to fill
Select Schedules in the sidebar and use the arrows to land on the target week — the one you want the shifts in. The source is always the week directly before it.
- 2
Select Copy prev week
Atteny asks you to confirm first, telling you how many shifts it found: Copy 18 shift(s) from last week to this week?

Check the result
A message reports how many shifts were copied and how many were skipped. The new shifts appear in the grid right away, and each employee gets a single notification for the batch — not one per shift.
What gets copied
Each shift's employee, location, start and end time, Break Minutes, Role and Notes, moved forward exactly one week. Every copy lands as a normal Scheduled shift, ready to be worked.
What doesn't
- Open shifts. Unassigned shifts are never copied forward — create them again or let Auto-schedule generate fresh ones.
- Anything that would clash. Copying adds to the target week; it never overwrites or deletes what's already there. If a copy would overlap a shift that person already has, it's skipped and counted in the skipped total.
- Days already gone. Shifts that would land before today are skipped, so copying into the current week only fills the part still ahead of you.
