How to Duplicate a Calendar

When a Teamup Calendar works well for one team or project, a similar setup can work well for another team or project. Here’s how to duplicate an entire Teamup master calendar.

The calendar duplication feature

The calendar duplication feature allows you to “copy” the basic structure of an entire Teamup Calendar: the sub-calendar structure and basic configuration. Then you can adapt the duplicated calendar for your own use. Duplicating a calendar that’s already set up makes getting started with Teamup event faster and easier.

How to duplicate a Teamup Calendar

There are two ways to duplicate a calendar setup for a new calendar. To ensure data protection, note that events and sharing settings will not be duplicated.

Option 1: From the calendar settings

Calendar administrators can duplicate a calendar from the calendar settings.

1. Go to Settings > General Settings.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the General Settings dialog to the Duplicate Calendar section.
3. Click the Duplicate button.
4. On the next screen, check the options you want to duplicate from the source calendar:
5. Click the green Duplicate button. A pop-up will appear once the source calendar has been duplicated:
6. Click the link to open the duplicated calendar, or copy and paste the link into a new browser tab. Then click the green OK button to close the pop-up.
7. The duplicated calendar will be automatically added to your dashboard.

Option 2: From a Template calendar link

A calendar administrator can create a shareable Template calendar link. This special template link can be used to duplicate the source calendar.

The Template link must fulfill the following conditions:

• The link name must be Template.
• It link must have Read-only permission assigned to all sub-calendars.

Create a Template calendar link

Calendar administrators:

1. In the source calendar, go to Settings > Sharing.
2. Click the Create Link button.
3. On the following dialog, name the link Template.
4. Scroll down to the Calendars Shared section and ensure that the Read-only permission is applied to All calendars:
   
   
5. Click the green Save button. You will be returned to the main Sharing dialog.
6. Locate the Template calendar link in the list of users and links.
7. Copy the Template link to use it or share it with others.

Using a Template link

You must be logged into your Teamup user account to use a Template calendar link. If you’re not logged in when you paste the Template link into a browser, you’ll be prompted to do so.

The duplicated calendar(s) will be automatically added to your user dashboard.

Duplicate a calendar from a Template link

1. Append /copy to the Template link then paste into a new browser tab or window.
   
2. The original calendar will be copied with the original calendar title and with all sub-calendars and all basic configuration.

Use a Template link with parameters

If you want to control how the Template link duplicates the original calendar, you can use link parameters.

The following URL parameters are supported:

• title=My Title
• copySubcalendars=0 to exclude sub-calendars
• copyConfiguration=0 to exclude configuration

1.  Append /copy to the Template link.
   • Optionally, append the needed URL parameters.
     • To append a parameter, add ? then the parameter.
     • To use multiple parameters, append the needed parameters with & between each one. For example: ?title=My Title&copySubcalendars=0 
2. Paste the Template link with the desired parameters into a new browser tab.
