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.
Important: Time cards created before the recent time tracking update (legacy time cards) cannot be copied on web or mobile. Only time cards created after the update can be copied. If no previous time cards appear when you try to copy, create a new time card manually — once created, it can be copied going forward.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Can I copy from any past date?
Yes — for time cards created after the recent update. Legacy time cards (created before the update) cannot be copied on web or mobile. If no time cards appear when selecting a past date, those entries are legacy cards. Create a new time card manually and it will be available to copy going forward.
Can I copy time cards and work logs separately?
Yes. When selecting entries, you can choose only work logs, only time cards, or both.
What happens to the hours when I copy?
Hours are included by default. Deselect the hours option to copy the entry structure only.
Can I copy from a different project?
No. The Copy tool copies entries within the same project only.
