Second Step: Copy Items from Second Day and Replace Items on First Day

The second step is to select the menu items from the meal service of the second day (e.g., week 2 Thursday dinner) and copy and replace the items on the meal service of the first day (e.g., week 1 Monday lunch).

To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Open the menu day to the second day of the days being swapped. In keeping with the example of copying week 2 Thursday dinner to week 1 Monday lunch, select week 2 Thursday.

   • • Menu Item in Entrée category and assigned to choice 1 will only replace the menu item in the Entrée category that is assigned to choice 1.
     • Menu Item in Entrée category and assigned to choice 2 will only replace the menu item in the Entrée category that is assigned to choice 2.
     • Menu Item in Entrée category and assigned to choice 1 and to choice 2 will only replace the menu item in the Entrée category that is assigned to choice 1 and to choice 2.
       
       
       
       
7. Scroll to the bottom and click the Copy button. A success message appears stating that the items were successfully copied.
