Create a new event based on an existing event

You can create a new event based on an existing event when adding a new event to a plan level. When adding the new event, you can search for the existing event to base it on, or select it from your recently viewed, copied, and favorited events.

Procedure

1. View the program timeline for the program and then select the plan level you want to add the new event to.
2. Click More Commands > New > Add Event. The Add Event panel opens.
3. Do one of the following to select an existing event:
   • To select the event from the Palette tab: if you recently copied the event, select it from the CLIPBOARD section; if you added the event to your favorites, select it from the FAVORITES section; if you recently viewed the event, select it from the RECENT section.
   • To search for the event, click the Search tab and enter your search criteria, then select the event from the search Results.
4. Click Add a Copy. The copy of the event is added to the EVENT section of the Add Event panel.
5. In the PROPERTIES section of the panel, specify a new Planned date. The other fields are populated based on the information from the event you selected the new event to be based on, but you can change them if necessary.

Note: The Target Plan Level cannot be changed as it is based on the plan level you selected in step 1.

6. If you want to include the checklists and deliverables from the based-on event, click the Include Checklist and Include Deliverables checkboxes.
7. Click Add to add the new event to the program timeline.
