# Copy time cards from a previous time sheet

You can copy time cards from an existing time sheet, which copies all the time cards \(for project and non-project tasks\) from a selected time sheet.

## Before you begin

Role required: timecard\_user

## About this task

You can also perform this task from the [Time Sheet Portal](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/table-administration-and-data-management/worker-portal.md).

## Procedure

1.  Open the time sheet record that you want to create the time cards for.

2.  Click the **Copy from previous time sheet** related link.

3.  In the **Select Time Sheet** field, select a previous time sheet that you want to copy the time cards from.

4.  You can copy the time logged for the tasks in the previous time sheet, select the **Copy time logged** check box.

5.  Click **OK**.


## Result

-   **Time cards for project tasks**

    Time cards for all the project tasks that are in progress or planned in the current week are copied from the selected time sheet. If a time card for a project task exists, a duplicate time card is not created during copying.

-   **Time cards for non-task category**

    Time cards for all non-task category such as meetings and trainings are copied from the selected time sheet. If a time card for a non-task category exists, a duplicate time card is created during copying.


**Note:**

-   If the previous time sheet has rate types and the time sheet policy of the user allows rate types, then rate types are also copied into the current time sheet.

-   If the previous time sheet has rate types, but the time sheet policy of the user no longer allows rate types, then rate types aren't copied to the current time sheet.
-   If the previous time sheet has a rate type that is inactive, that rate type is not copied. If necessary, the user can enter a different rate type before saving the individual time cards.
