Clone Container (Instant Book or PTC)

Clone container is a quick way to set up your activities for next term, using the groups and events you created for this term. This can be used for PTC, Wraparound Care, School Trips, Holiday Camps, etc) 

For the PTC, cloning the container is recommended only if the conferences/meetings are scheduled on the same weekdays as in the previous term. For instance, if the meetings took place on Thursday and Friday last term, and are also scheduled for Thursday and Friday this term, cloning the container would be appropriate.
