Copy
Copy button has three functions:
- if the active timetable is a component timetable, it stores its bookings to memory and its bookings can then be be pasted to other component timetables and weeks with the Paste button
- if the active timetable is a course timetable, it stores the course lectures to memory and its courses can then be be pasted to other course timetables and weeks with the Paste button
- it copies the current timetable and all other timetables of the same category to the Clipboard, and it can then be pasted as timetables to other applications (such as spreadsheet applications)
Paste
Paste button has two functions:
- if the active timetable is a component timetable it pastes the bookings from the memory to the current component timetable (without overriding the scheduled lectures in the target timetable)
- if the active timetable is a course timetable it pastes the course lectures from the memory to the current course timetable (if the operation is feasible)
It is easy to copy bookings from one timetable to another timetable by first clicking the Copy button on the timetable the bookings are about to copy from. The active timetable and/or week is then changed and when Paste is clicked, the bookings are copied to this timetable.
Bookings
Bookings button reverses the status of the bookings in the highlighted area of the active component timetable. All free cells are booked and all cells having bookings are cleared. If you want to copy these bookings to other timetables or weeks, store them with the Copy button to memory and then copy to other component timetables with the Paste button. Select the current booking type from the Booking type box.
Erase
Erase button clears the lectures in the highlighted area in the active timetable.

For instance, if the active timetable is a room, all rooms which are free in the selected area are shown. Clicking [OK] button in the list activates the selected component. Clicking Copy copies the list to the Clipboard.
