Introducing record duplication for faster data entry

To boost your team’s efficiency when creating new records, we've added the Duplicate feature. This means you can add a new record faster, pre-populating it with existing data that you can then modify as needed.

Duplicating records is useful for teams or individuals who are often entering similar information as they create new records, such as travel expenses to the same client. Maybe you're managing projects with the same client, creating multiple batches for production, logging similar types of expenses, or building a sales pipeline filled with companies in the same industry with similar characteristics. Entering the same data values repeatedly can get tedious, fast.

The ability to quickly duplicate records eliminates this manual work by leveraging existing data to create records with very similar values, or even exact copies.

Here's how it works:

  • Right click on any record where you have been given add/edit permissions by your admin.
  • Click on the "Duplicate" option in the pop-up menu.
  • A record will appear with all the information from the record you right clicked on. Now you can choose which information you’d like to keep, and which information you’d like to edit.
  • Then click “Add” and the new record will appear in the collection.

Please note, duplicating records only works within the same collection, not across multiple collections.

Using the Duplicate feature is another example of how we at Kinabase are on a mission to make your processes smoother and more efficient so you can focus on making a real impact at your job. Utilising the Duplicate feature also improves data accuracy by minimising the risk of typos or errors that occur during manual entry.

The Duplicate feature in records saves you significant time and effort by allowing you to copy information seamlessly from one record to another, while still letting you modify the specific details that differ in your new record. We hope you utilise this new addition to Kinabase!
