Bulk actions in projects
For a faster execution of actions enable the row selection so that project crew items can be selected. Once the row selection is enabled select as many or all group items with crew members.
When the selection is done now the bulk actions can be selected.
Bulk action: set status
When selecting bulk action: set status the dialog “Set status for x of x items” opens and within the dropdown selection user can select the following statuses:
* Has been cancelled
* SparetoFix
* Has changed
* Confirmed
* Requested
Upon selection one of the options from above an email dialog for sending new emails opens with the prefilled email template. Keep in mind if there is no email template created for the different statuses a toaster error will appear with the following message: “No templates for MSGJobHasBeenCancelled defined. Please contact with templates administrator to set it up.” Once the email is sent the selected status will be shown in the project crew item list under Status.
Bulk Action: set date, times and status
A user can perform a quick bulk action by selecting this option and either changing the date, times (start and end time or both) and the status. These actions can be performed altogether or just one out of the three, being independent of each other.
Bulk action: set to cancel & set to cancel (*)
The dialog “Set X items to cancellation” opens and within the dropdown a log note can be added to reason why the cancellation was selected. Once cancellation has been set it will be shown under the “Functions” column. When selecting the set to cancel (*) the cancellation will not be shown everywhere. Simply stated the cancellation will be more internal and will not appear under quotes, calculations etc. The exact mapping of appearance can be found here: Page: Projects#Based_on_functions_and_functions_types
Bulk Action: email all crew members
