Clone an event
Admin · Coordinator
Cloning an event copies its stand layout and settings to a new date in seconds. It is faster than creating a new event from scratch when you have a one-off game that does not fit a saved template, or when you want to repeat a specific past event exactly.
If you find yourself cloning the same event repeatedly, consider saving it as a template instead — templates support bulk generation across an entire season.
What Clones and What Resets
| Field | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Event name | Copied (you can change it in the clone modal) |
| Venue | Copied |
| Per-person rate | Copied |
| Max workers | Copied |
| Waitlist setting | Copied |
| Fund distribution setting | Copied |
| Notes | Copied |
| Stand numbers | Copied — each stand is re-created on the new event |
| Date | Reset — you must provide a new date |
| Status | Reset to Upcoming |
| Worker assignments | Not copied — the new event starts with no roster |
| Signup records | Not copied |
| Attendance | Not copied |
| Settlement | Not copied — the new event has no settlement state |
The clone is a fresh event with the same structure. All scheduling, staffing, and financial work for the new event starts from zero.
Clone an Event
- Navigate to Events from the main sidebar.
- Find the event you want to copy.
- In the event's row, open the Actions menu (the icon at the far right of the row).
- Click Clone Event.
- In the Clone Event dialog:
- Date (required) — enter the date for the new event.
- Name (optional) — change the name if needed. If left blank, the new event keeps the original event's name.
- Click Clone Event to confirm.
The new event appears immediately in the Events list with status Upcoming.
After cloning, open the new event to set signup windows, adjust capacity, or add workers. The clone does not carry over any signup configuration from the original.
Permissions
Cloning an event requires the event_management.manage_roster permission. This permission is included in the Admin and Coordinator roles by default. See the Permission Matrix for details.
Differences Between Clone and Template
Both clone and template generate a new event from an existing configuration. Choose based on your situation:
| Situation | Use |
|---|---|
| One-off repeat of a specific past event | Clone |
| Generating 10+ events at the start of a season | Template |
| Capturing a standard setup for a venue you use regularly | Template |
| You need to adjust the name for just one new event | Clone |
Next Steps
- Use Event Templates — generate a full season of events from a saved configuration
- Manage the Worker Roster — assign workers to the cloned event
- Settle Events — run settlement after the event is complete
