Copying a Maintenance Schedule

This feature is accessed from the Options menu by selecting 'Copy a Maintenance Schedule'.

• This process copies scheduled maintenance tasks from one vehicle to another vehicle.  

• If you are adding vehicles or equipment that have similar scheduled maintenance requirements, this saves you the time of re-entering the scheduled maintenance items.

• You can change or delete any of the individual copied tasks at any time.

This process will not create duplicate entries because it skips any tasks with the same Description. 

The process also does not copy one-time Date tasks.

The process does not copy maintenance history.  But any maintenance history that has previously been posted to the Copy To vehicle will automatically be paired up with any scheduled tasks that have a matching Description.

• Step 1: Click on the Copy From down arrow to select a vehicle to copy from.  (Once you select a Copy From vehicle, the Copy To area appears on the screen.)

• Step 2: Click the 'Include Notes' checkbox if you also want any notes copied that you have entered on any of the scheduled tasks being copied.  Otherwise, do not check the box and no notes will be copied.

• Step 3: Click on the Copy To down arrow to select the vehicle that the scheduled tasks will be copied to.

• Step 4: Review the selections you have just made.  If necessary, make any changes.

• Step 5: Click the Process button to go ahead and copy the scheduled tasks.  Or click the Quit button to leave without making any changes.

• Step 6: The copy process is done.  A count is displayed of how many tasks were copied and how many were skipped because they were already posted to the Copy To vehicle.  Click the Quit button to leave.

Now you can use the Schedule Maintenance screen or the Vehicle Profile screen to review or modify any of the tasks that were copied.
