Copying runs

Updated on 9 August 2024

Copying runs is a simple way to rapidly duplicate existing runs to be repeated on a future date.

When copying runs, you can choose which of the information you’d like to carry across to the new run, including:

  • Location stops (All Stops/Planned Stops Only/None)
  • Assigned Driver
  • Assigned Vehicle

Please Note

When selecting the location stops, ‘All Stops’ will copy all stops on the run and create them as planned stops on the new run.

Copy a run to a single date

  1. Select the run which you would like to copy in the ‘Runs’ list on the Advanced Planning screen
  2. Click ‘Actions’ > ‘Copy Run’ in the ‘Selected Run’ section 
  3. Select which Location stops you would like to copy to the new run
  4. Choose whether you would like to copy the assigned driver and/or vehicle
  5. Ensure ‘Single date’ is selected in the ‘Choose method’ field
