# Work Areas

Work Areas are the places people work, like the Toddler Room, Miss Mary’s Room, Room 1, etc. Work areas include not only classroom names, but other areas like the Front Office, Kitchen or Transportation Shed. Work Areas are assigned to Departments, then Classrooms are selected from the list of Work Areas.

## Copy & Paste to Other Locations

If you have multiple locations with the same Work Areas and/or Classrooms use Copy & Paste.

1. Go to the *Work Areas* screen for a location that has the information you want to copy.
2. Click *Copy*. You’ll be asked if you also want to copy classroom names. Classrooms cannot be copied separately from Work Areas.
3. Exit the Work Areas screen. You should be at the *System Configuration* screen with *Work Areas* highlighted.
4. Click *Change School* and select a location to which you want to paste the information.
5. Dbl-click *Work Areas* to open the screen for that location then click *Paste*. If you chose to copy the classroom names you’ll be asked if you want to paste the classroom information too.  

**Hint**: You may paste the same information to another location. *Exit* the Work Areas screen, click *Change School* and select another location. Go to the Work Areas for that location and *Paste* again.
