Understanding the "Duplicate Past Order" Feature

The Duplicate Past Order feature is designed to save time and reduce effort for users who frequently submit similar job orders. Instead of re-entering the same details for each new order, users can quickly generate a new job post using information from a previous one.

✅ What It Does

When a user selects "Duplicate Past Order," the system pulls over the key details from a past job order—such as:

  • Title

  • Description

  • Location

  • Shift times

  • Specific notes or instructions

  • Budget

This creates a new draft order with those fields already filled out, allowing the user to make adjustments (like changing the dates or adding/removing shifts) before submitting it.

⚠️ What It Doesn’t Do

  • It does not automatically submit a job order without review.

  • It does not lock in past shift dates—those must be manually updated by the user.

  • It is not required for order creation and can be ignored entirely.

A Few Tips for Using It Correcly

  • Always double-check the dates. Past dates will be pre-filled, and it’s up to the user to update them.

  • Review other details that may change, such as special instructions, shift count, or required credentials.

  • If unsure, start fresh. You can always choose to build a new order manually.
