Save

Saves the current schedule.

If this is a brand‑new schedule, you will be prompted to choose a file name and location. Saved schedules use the .SRR file format and store all settings active at the time of saving.

During the save process, you may be prompted to perform the following actions:

Update Duty Assignment History
Updates the history database used when assigning future duties.
Update Google Calendar (if enabled)
Update Outlook Calendar (if enabled)

After saving, the schedule’s file name appears in the top‑left corner of the editor.

ℹ️ Note: Save only displays a file dialog when saving a schedule for the first time. Save As File… always displays a file dialog.

Save As File…

Allows you to save the schedule under a new name or location.

This is useful when creating variations or backups of an existing schedule.

Import

Opens the Import window, allowing you to automatically fill selected assignments using:

The Assignment History database
External CSV data files

You can customise the import process in the dedicated Import window.

Export

Opens the Export submenu, where you can export the current assignment schedule in a variety of formats such as CSV, ICS, HTML, and PDF.

Preview in Browser

Opens the current schedule in an external web browser.

This is useful if you prefer your browser’s rendering or want to compare how the layout appears outside the editor’s built‑in preview pane.

Printing is only available when the Preview tab is active.

Print

Opens the standard browser print window, allowing you to print the schedule or save it as a PDF.
