How to copy an event
1. To copy an event head over to the Grip container app which hosts your events.
2. Navigate to the event you would like to copy. Click the paper icon at the bottom left of the event, enter the new event details, then click 'Clone Event'. Copying can take up to two minutes if it’s a particularly complex event, if it has not copied within two minutes, click the browser refresh button. After the event has successfully copied you will be directed to the event setup page of your new event and you will then be able to see your copied event in your container app.
FAQs
Can I copy a copied event?
Yes.
Can I copy events from one Grip Application to another?
No.
Does the Custom Group ID stay the same or is it different in the copied event?
The Custom Group IDs are different in both events.
Does this copy MustMeet settings?
This version does not currently copy MustMeet settings, but there are plans to include this in the coming months.
Does this copy meeting settings?
At present, this does not include meeting settings as this requires timings to be specified. In upcoming work we will look to include default timings when an event is cloned to allow these settings to be cloned.
