Create a WEEKLY Schedule Template 

You can Import any previous week "as is" by choosing that date in the Import window but if you want to create and name certain weekly schedule "templates" (Ex. if you want to create a holiday schedule and save/name it as a template for later importing) you can do so at any time. You can save any schedule that you have on the screen or you can navigate to an empty week (future or past) and create a schedule and save as template. When you are finished creating the template click Save Template and name it.  If you used an empty week to create the template be sure to use the Clear/Delete function to "Erase the Entire Schedule" - removing the shifts from that week and setting that week back to empty after saving as a template.

Note that when saving or importing templates you can first filter your view to only include a specific position, category or group so that the template will only include those shifts. Ex: I can filter my schedule to only include shifts for one position and then "Save as Template" to create a template that includes only those shifts for that position.
