    Scheduling

Introducing multi-assign & bulk edits for smarter scheduling

We've released two features this month that will help you do more in Float in less time.

No more copy and pasting or double-duty task creation—the new multi-assign feature makes it easy to assign tasks to multiple people at once.

The bulk actions menu has also been updated with new edit options for both people and projects.


Multi-assign tasks

First up is the new multi-assign feature, which makes it easy to assign tasks to multiple people at once.

Simply bring up the task menu, enter the details, and click the Assigned To field to select the team members you want to schedule.

You can also schedule a task for your whole team by choosing Select all.

If you filter the schedule view first by typing in a department, a tag, etc., the Select all option will assign the task to everyone that's currently showing.

Make bulk changes to your people and projects

The bulk actions menu has also been updated this month with new edit options for your team.

You can change the job title, department, account type, tags, hourly rate, and public holiday group for multiple team members at the same time.

Or change the client, color, project type, tags, budget, PM access, and owner of multiple projects at once.
