How to Copy Work Logs and Time Cards in Raken

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.

To copy work logs or time cards from a previous day:

On web:

Go to Projects > [Project] > Daily Logs > Work logs, click Copy, select the date and entries to copy, and click Copy selected logs.

On mobile:

Go to the project, tap Daily Logs > Work logs, tap the Copy icon in the top right corner, select the entries, and tap Save.

You can choose whether to include the hours from the original entries or copy the structure only.

Log into the Raken web app. Click Projects in the left side menu. Select the project for which you want to copy entries. Click Daily Logs in the project left side menu, then click Work logs.

Click the Copy button in the center of the page.

Select the date from which you want to copy work log and time card data.

Check the work logs and/or time cards you want to copy to the current day. You can also choose to include the hours associated with those entries by selecting the optional hours checkbox.

Deselect the hours option if you want to copy the crew and cost code structure but enter fresh hours for the day.

Click the orange Copy selected logs button. The selected entries are copied to the current day's report.

Open the Raken mobile app. Tap the project for which you want to copy entries. Tap Daily Logs, then tap Work logs.

Tap the Copy icon in the top right corner of the screen.

Select the work logs and/or time cards you want to copy to the current day. Optionally choose to include the hours from the original entries.

Tap the Save button in the top right corner. The selected entries are copied to today's report.

You can copy from any past date — not just the previous day. Use the date picker in the Copy tool to select any date that has existing entries.

Yes. When selecting entries to copy, you can choose only work logs, only time cards, or both. Each entry has its own checkbox.

Yes. Work Log names are fully editable after copying. To edit the name on an existing or copied Work Log, tap or click the ellipsis (…) menu on the entry and select Edit work log name. You can switch between a company-based name and a fully custom name at any time.

By default, the hours from the original entries are included in the copy. Deselect the hours option if you want to copy the entry structure only and enter new hours manually.

No. The Copy tool copies entries within the same project only. You cannot copy from one project to another.

Yes. The Copy tool is available in Daily Logs > Work logs on both the web app and the mobile app.
