Copying Menu Items Within Same Menu
You can copy menu items to other weeks, days and meal periods within your menu. To do so, complete the following steps:
-
Open the menu to the menu day view of the week and day you want to copy.
- Click the Copy Menu Item button. The Copy Menu Items slide-out panel appears.
- From the Select Meals to Copy field, select the meal service(s) to copy (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). The screen refreshes with the items in that meal service. You can further narrow down the items displayed by clearing/selecting categories and choices via the Select Categories to copy and the Select Choices to copy fields, respectively.
- By default, all items are selected. Clear the check boxes of the items not to be copied.
- Scroll to the Step 2: Copy to section and select the week(s) and day(s) to copy to from the Weeks and Days fields, respectively.
- From the meal service field, select the meal service to copy to. For example, for the Breakfast field, select Lunch (breakfast items are being copied to lunch).
- Select from one of the following options:
-
Add to Existing Menu Items - adds the items to the existing items. If an item already exists, it will not be copied over.
-
Replace Existing Menu Items - replaces the existing items. For an item to be replaced, its menu category and choice assignments between the source and destination must match exactly. For example:
- 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.
-
Add to Existing Menu Items - adds the items to the existing items. If an item already exists, it will not be copied over.
- You can scroll to the Step 3: Preview Copy Selections section to review the items that are being copied over. Items being copied over are displayed in orange. If multiple weeks, multiple days, and multiple choices are selected to copy from, you can filter the items via the Select Week, Select Day, and Select Choice fields.
- Scroll to the bottom and click the Copy button. A success message appears stating the the items were successfully copied.
