With zkipster, you and your team can now fully duplicate a previously created Event. This feature allows you to choose which information to duplicate and which information to exclude.


Based on your event and current zkipster plan, you can select which objects of the original event to transfer into the newly copied event. This can be:

  • Guest Lists

  • Guest Covid Certificate Data

  • Communications

  • Seating Plan

  • Users

  • Sessions

  • Name Badges

  • Consent Forms
    ​

Please Note: Event duplication is only available for Account Owners, Administrators, and Event Hosts.

How to Duplicate an Event

On your Event Panel, by selecting the Duplicate icon, select the desired data, from the Duplicate Event Table, to duplicate.
​

Once selected, click on the Duplicate button. The system will notify you once the duplication is finished. You will also receive an email with the confirmation.

Once it has been duplicated, the new event will appear in the Upcoming Events section along with your other events.

Things To Be Considered When Duplicating

There are multiple things to consider when duplicating an Event:

  • Duplicate Past Events: When you duplicate a Past Event, the new copy will have the same date and time information as the original. After duplicating, the new event will be automatically placed in the Past Events section, not the Upcoming Events section. If you need to change this, you can do so by clicking on the Edit icon located on the right side of the event and modifying the date and time.
    ​

    Please, refer to the following article to learn more about How to Create and Manage your zkipster Event

  • Duplicate Events with Shared Forms: When duplicating your Campaigns across different Events, if the campaign(s) you are trying to duplicate have a Form inside that is a Shared Form, instead of keeping the Form shared across campaigns, we duplicate the form. i.e.: If a user has an event with three campaigns all using the same form, and they duplicate the event, the duplicated event will have three campaigns with three separate, identical forms that are not shared.

    Please find more information about Duplicate and Shared Forms in the following article Duplicate Forms vs. Sharing Forms Across Multiple Campaigns.

  • Duplicate Event with Sessions: When duplicating an event that contains sessions, please be mindful of the date, time, and location of your sessions. This is important because the system will assign the same information, which could lead to issues when you edit your event details. You must update the session information to match that of your event.
