Cutting , copying and pasting a schedule

PADS4 Scheduler provides clipboard functionality that allows you to cut, copy, and paste schedules across different Viewers or Viewer Groups. This feature helps streamline workflows when duplicating or moving schedules throughout your display network.

​

Cutting and Pasting a Schedule

Cutting a schedule removes it from its current location and places it on the clipboard. When pasted, it becomes a new, standalone schedule at the new destination.

​

Steps:

1. In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group that contains the existing schedule.
2. In the Calendar or Table view, select the schedule you want to move.
3. Navigate to the Home tab in the ribbon bar.
4. In the Clipboard group, click Cut.
5. A confirmation message will appear. Confirm the action to remove the original schedule.
6. Navigate to the new Viewer or Viewer Group, and select the desired location.
7. Click Paste in the Clipboard group.

The schedule will be added to the new location as a new, independent schedule.

To verify:

• Right-click the newly pasted schedule
• Choose Edit > Schedule
• The Edit Schedule window will display a single-entry timetable

​

Copying and Pasting a Schedule

Copying a schedule keeps the original intact and adds a new occurrence to the same schedule, creating or expanding a multi-entry timetable, similar to an Advanced Schedule.

​

Steps:

1. In the Destinations tree view, select the Viewer or Viewer Group with the schedule you want to copy.
2. In the Calendar or Table view, select the schedule.
3. In the Home tab, click Copy in the Clipboard group.
4. Navigate to the desired destination and position.
5. Click Paste.

The copied schedule is now an additional entry within the same schedule object.

To verify:

• Right-click the pasted schedule
• Choose Edit > Schedule
• The Edit Schedule window will show multiple timetable entries
