PADS4 Scheduler allows you to use cut, copy, and paste operations on recurring schedules, making it easy to move or duplicate them across different Viewers or Viewer Groups. The behavior of these actions differs slightly from regular (non-recurring) schedules.

​
Cutting and Pasting a Recurring Schedule

When you cut and paste a recurring schedule, a new schedule is created at the destination, and the original is removed.

​
Steps:

  1. In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group that contains the recurring schedule.

  2. In the Calendar or Table view, select the recurring schedule.

  3. Navigate to the Home tab in the ribbon bar and click Cut in the Clipboard group.

  4. A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirm that you want to delete the recurring schedule.

    • The schedule is removed from the original location.
    • A copy remains in the clipboard, ready to be pasted.

  5. Navigate to the new destination and select the desired position.

  6. Click Paste in the Clipboard group.

The recurring schedule is now created as a new, independent schedule at the destination.

To confirm:

  • Right-click the pasted schedule
  • Select Edit > Schedule
  • The Edit Schedule window will show it as a new recurrence definition

​
Copying and Pasting a Recurring Schedule

When you copy and paste a recurring schedule, it creates a new timetable entry within the original schedule object, assuming the schedule type supports multiple destinations or time slots (e.g., an Advanced Schedule).

​
Steps:

  1. In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group that contains the recurring schedule.

  2. In the Calendar or Table view, select the recurring schedule.

  3. Click Copy from the Clipboard group in the ribbon bar.

  4. Navigate to the new date or Viewer where the schedule should be duplicated.

  5. Click Paste.

The recurring schedule is now added as a new entry in the schedule’s timetable.

To confirm:

  • Right-click the pasted schedule
  • Select Edit > Schedule
  • The Edit Schedule window will show multiple entries, including the new one
