How to use your own calendar as a template

Do you have a Teamup Calendar that works really well for a project, team, group, or other need? With Teamup's duplication feature, you can use your own calendar as a template to create another calendar with the same basic structure already in place. Then you can adapt and scale the duplicated calendar as needed.

• So if you have a project calendar that works really well, you can use it as a template and create a duplicate calendar when you're ready to start a new project.
• Or perhaps you lead a team at work and your colleague wants to create a similar calendar structure for her team. You can allow her to use your calendar as a template. 

When you use your calendar as a template, the sub-calendars and basic configuration (including custom fields) are included in the duplicate. Calendar events and sharing settings are not duplicated. So your data is kept safe. Just be sure there is nothing confidential (e.g. client name, project ID) in your sub-calendar titles or custom fields.

How to use your calendar as a template

Method 1: Calendar settings

This method is only useful for you, the calendar admin, to create another calendar you will own. So if you need a new project calendar, for example, you could use your current project calendar as a template to make setting up faster and easier. 

1. Go to Settings > General Settings.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the General Settings dialog to the Duplicate Calendar section.
3. Click the Duplicate button.

Configure and confirm the duplication. More details here. 

Method 2: Template calendar link

If you share the Template link, others can use your calendar as a template and create a duplicate for their own use. So if a colleague at work wants to use your team calendar as a guide, you can give her a Template link so she can duplicate the structure you have in place.

1. In your calendar, go to Settings > Sharing.
2. Click the Create Link button.
3. On the following dialog, name the link Template.
4. Scroll down to the Calendars Shared section and ensure that the Read-only permission is applied to All calendars.
5. Save the link. More details here.

To use the link: Append /copy to the Template link then paste into a new browser tab or window.
