If your crew works the same jobs and cost codes day after day, copying work logs and time cards from a previous day saves you from re-entering the same information. You can selectively copy entries from any past date — with or without hours — directly from the web app or mobile app.
Quick Answer
To copy work logs or time cards:
On web: Go to Projects > [Project] > Daily Logs > Work logs, click Copy, select the date and entries, and click Copy selected logs.
On mobile: Go to the project, tap Daily Logs > Work logs, tap the Copy icon in the top right, select entries, and tap Save.
You can choose to include the hours from the original entries or copy the structure only.
