Reschedule Multiple Tasks

I want to highlight and move 2+ tasks to the next day, but there is no way to do this. You mean I have to move them one-by-one? What a waste of time!

My marketing reps want to be able to reschedule multiple activities to one date. You used to be able to drag them to a mini calendar in ACT Ver. 6. Now they have to move them one by one and it's more time consuming!

Thanks for this suggestion. I can see being able to move multiple activities at once to the next day or future date would be useful. Perhaps a drag and drop action. Would it be accurate to say that you'd want to move multiple activities at once to the same time they were originally scheduled at? What I'm trying to determine is if the "time" you want to move multiple activities to is important or not.

It's definitely much faster than moving them one-by-one. Yes, keeping the same times would be good.

Great idea. It is so time consuming to reschedule a number of Activities to other days because some urgent task necessitates. I suggest Suzanne that it could be a process of 'Ctrl' key and mouse select of the desired activities and then in bulk reassign as timeless to another selectable day. You would then individualy drag and drop these activities into the body of the calendar on the new day.

Probably need to allow this only their own (Record Manager) activities for Standard users but allow Manager users to do this for other user's activities.

A positive offshoot of this is that users would probably choose this option rather than the rollover function for activities which occurs at logon and slows down the startup process or can cause conflict in a sync environment.

I would like to highlight several items on my task list and be able to quickly reschedule them for an activity in the future. Most of my activities like this would be "timeless"

Much like on the Opporutnity List, you can highlight mutliple items and quckly adjust the estimated close date.

Please let me know if you make an update! Thanks!
