TIPS & TRICKS

Looking to make the same edit for several Checklist Items? Save time by using ConstructionOnline's multi-select feature, which allow you to perform bulk-edits on multiple Checklist Items at once. The following Checklist Item properties can be edited in bulk: Priority, Status, Percent Complete, Trade, Cost Impact, Due Date, Related Resources, and Assigned Resources. However, only one property can be edited in bulk at a time. 

  • To enable multi-select, hold down the Ctrl/Command key on your keyboard. Please use the Ctrl key if using a Windows device and the Command key for a macOS device. 
  • Click on the desired Checklist Items you would like to edit in bulk. Each Item you select will appear highlighted in either blue or dark grey, depending on your display settings. 
  • Release the Ctrl/Command key, then right-click on any selected Item and select the option "Edit Items".
