About Copy Blueprints

Blueprints can be copied to another day, or specific days, or another production line. Blueprint information such as blueprint name, shift, jobs, labels, and so on copy over to the selected day or days; however, this does not include copying resources allocated to a blueprint.

Shift Pattern Behavior: The application does not allow the user to deploy a blueprint on a day when the shift does not run. This means that a shift running Monday through Friday will not deploy a blueprint on a Saturday. However, the copy and paste functionality ignores this rule and allows blueprints to be pasted on a day the shift does not run. Allowing schedulers to quickly override shift definitions when copying blueprints.

The Copy feature honors:

• Person and production line security settings within the blueprint. This means if a specific product contains line restrictions in the security settings, then the application will not paste the copied blueprint.
• Effective Date and Conclusion Date. Copied blueprints will not paste outside the blueprint’s effective or conclusion date.
• Institution Overlap Configuration. Copied blueprints will not paste on a line that will create an overlap between blueprints if Overlap is not allowed.
