In Activities & Clubs, select the Instant Book tab, find the container and select Clone. Update the details in the pop-up, select Clone, check the groups, events and block dates, then publish the events from Publish Events.
For staff setting up next term’s activities, wraparound care, school trips, holiday camps or parents’ evenings from this term’s groups and events.
Cloning a container is a quick way to set up next term using the groups and events you created this term. You can use it for PTC, wraparound care, school trips, holiday camps and more.
PTC: only clone the container if the meetings are on the same weekdays as last term. For example, if meetings were on Thursday and Friday last term and are on Thursday and Friday this term, cloning is appropriate.
Clone an Instant Book container
These steps use an Instant Book container as an example.
Go to the Activities & Clubs module and select the Instant Book tab.
-
Find the original container and select Clone.
-
A pop-up opens with default information filled in. Check and change the details. Make sure you update the Sign Up Title, the Activities Start/End Date and any other details.
Select Clone. When the confirmation message appears, select OK to see the new container and its groups.
To change the container, edit the details under Groups (such as availability and lead staff organiser) or Create Events (such as prices and times). If you do not need to change anything, go straight to the next step.
Select the Block Dates tab and check that the block dates are set for your organisation. See Creating Organisation Block Dates in SchoolsBuddy.
Publish the events
-
Select Publish Events to review and confirm everything that was copied. You can see the number of events to be published (1). You can publish all the events on the page or select only some of them (2).
-
At the bottom of the page, tick the box and select Publish. Confirm by selecting Publish again in the pop-up warning.
Wait a few minutes while the events are generated. You can then check them under View events/Bookings.
