Copy Shifts in Zoho Shifts

Copy shift

Create shifts by simply copying from an existing shift or set of shifts. Zoho Shifts lets you copy shifts using the Copy Previous tool and keyboard shortcuts in the Schedule Editor.

To copy shifts from a previous day or week

  1. Go to Schedule > Schedule Editor.
  2. Click Tools from the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. Select Copy Previous Day/Week/2 Weeks based on your current scheduler view.
  4. Select the From start and end dates to enter a specific date range.
  5. Select the To start date to paste the shifts. The end date is fetched based on the selected source range.
  6. Click Copy.
Shifts from the selected range are copied exactly as they are. Both published and unpublished shifts will be included and will appear in an unpublished state. You can review everything and publish it when ready. This feature is only available on a day, week, or bi-weekly view. 

To copy shifts using keyboard shortcuts

You can move shifts by dragging them from one cell to another. To copy a shift instead of moving it, use the following shortcut in the Schedule Editor:
  1. On Windows: Hold Ctrl, drag, and drop the shift
  2. On Mac: Hold Command + Option, drag and drop the shift.
