FAQs

Is it possible to update Scheduled Tasks in bulk?

It is possible to reassign Scheduled Task users in bulk using the Bulk Assignment feature in the Administration area.

For other updates, it is not possible to do so in bulk. If a change is needed for the task at other Locations, simply repeat the Edit task process for the task assigned to each location as required.
