Introduction
You can multi-select tasks on the task structure using CTRL+left click (or CMD on a Mac), and move or structure by dropping on one of the tasks.
Alternatively, you can move the tasks using the arrows in the header, and a notification will be displayed if the operation was partially successful or unsuccessful.
Select and Unselect Tasks
You can select tasks using the keyboard or mouse. The table below presents possible actions:
Action | Description |
|---|---|
Selecting more than one task is possible with (selected tasks are highlighted in blue): | |
cmd or ctrl + left mouse button | Select tasks one by one. |
shift + left mouse button | Select a range of tasks. |
Unselecting tasks is possible with: | |
ESC | Unselect all selected tasks. |
Click out of zone | Unselect all selected tasks. |
cmd or ctrl + left mouse button | Unselecting tasks one by one. |
Possible Actions
Once you select the tasks, you will be able to move them, indent and outdent, etc., depending on the type of tasks (parent / child). The table below presents possible actions:
Selected tasks | Action |
|---|---|
parent + all his children | move up/down, indent, outdent, delete |
parent + selected children/without children | delete |
all children from one parent, but without a parent | outdent, delete |
selected children from single parent, but without a parent | move up/down, indent, outdent, delete |
selected children from different parents, but without parents | delete |
multiple parents without children | delete |
at least one task + one milestone |
Period mode change
In the Gantt module, you can change the scheduling mode of any group of selected tasks, regardless of their relationships.
Example:
When you select children from a single parent but the parent remains unselected, all options will be available:
When you add the parent task to that list, only the delete icon will be clickable:
