The '''Master Schedule''' feature allows you to define a Level 1 record and associated Level 2 records to act as a structured template that can be copied to new Level 1 records.
When creating a Master Schedule the startdate, enddate, starttime and endtime of the Level 1 record and associated Level 2 records should be created to reflect the standard schedule. The actual dates you choose don't matter: only their relationship to each other. When you copy the Master Schedule Template to create an actual schedule you will be asked to provide the startdate for the Level 1 record. All other date and time standard fields will then be created on the new records to ensure the offset between the new dates and times matches the offset of the Level 1 Master Schedule startdate and it's Level 2s.
==Activation==
To enable a Level 1 Template to act as a Master Schedule you should select the '''Master Schedule Enabled''' check box on the '''Edit Template''' link on the [[Template]] settings page.
On the Level 1.
==Usage==
Once your Level 1 Master Schedule template record has been created with all necessary Level 2 records, with the correct relative timespans between the Level 2 date/time [[Standard Fields]] and the Level 1 startdate it can be copied as many times as required.
===Process===
Open the Level 1 Master Schedule Template record in either View or Edit mode and click on the '''Copy''' button.
:If you do not see the Copy button it may be because there is [[Advanced Logic]] in place within the [[UTA]] that is restricting it.
Select the options as outlined below:
Ensure '''Copy Target''' is '''New'''
Clearing the '''Copy Custom Fields''' check box will prevent any data stored within the Level 1 [[Custom Fields]] on the Master Template will not be copied to the new Level 1
* Level 1 [[Sstandard Standard Field]] data on the Master Template will ALWAYS be copied to the new Level 1.
* Level 2 [[Standard Fields]] AND [[Custom Field]] data on the Level 2s attached to the Master Template will ALWAYS be copied to the new Level 2 records.
Clearing the '''Copy Contacts''' check box will prevent the contacts assigned to the Master Template in the Level 1 contacts section from being copied to the new Level 1 record.
* The Level 1 '''Owner''' fill will be populated with the name of the person who created the copy.
* Level 2 '''Contacts''' and '''Owner''' are NEVER copied from the Level 2s on the Master Template to the new Level 2 records.
Clearing the '''Copy Companies''' check box will prevent any companies assigned to the Master Template in the Level 1 Companies section (if enabled) from being copied to the new level 1.
* If a Company is selected in the '''Client''' Standard Field and/or a Branch is selected in the '''Branch''' they will ALWAYS be copied to the new Level 1 record.
Select the '''Master Schedule Copy''' check box.
Finally select the startdate for the new Level 1 that will be created. The remaining dates and times for the Level 2 records will be based on that.
Click '''Copy'''.
