0:00 Have an event that you want to duplicate so you don't have to make the whole form all over again? Lome lets you do that. 0:06 To do so, we click into Edit, and next to the title of the event, you'll see three little dots that open up a menu. 0:17 You'll see Duplicate, so we click Duplicate. It opens up a new, and then we edit this. We can change the name. 0:24 Class Volunteers. Done. Now, we have two events. And you'll notice too that the signup, uh, the signup's items have preserved, but the actual signups have not. 0:39 Thank you.
Finding the Duplicate Feature
Need help locating the duplicate option? Here's where to find it in your Lome dashboard:
Step-by-Step Navigation
- Go to your Events section in your Lome dashboard
- Find the event you want to copy and click the "Edit" button
- Look for three dots (⋯) next to your event title at the top of the page
- Click the three dots to open the menu options
- Select "Duplicate" from the dropdown menu
Common Scenarios for Event Duplication
Event duplication is perfect for:
- Annual events: Copy last year's church picnic or school fundraiser to use the same structure
- Recurring activities: Duplicate weekly volunteer signups or monthly community meetings
- Similar events: Use your Sunday service signup as a template for special services
- Multi-location events: Copy an event setup to use at different campuses or locations
Remember: When you duplicate an event, all the signup categories and volunteer roles will copy over, but the actual participant signups will start fresh. This gives you the perfect clean slate while keeping all your hard work setting up the event structure!
