Bulk Editing of Pins and Tasks

Updated this week

Bulk editing allows you to change certain settings at once for multiple pins or tasks. For example, you can quickly transfer tasks from one person to another or create the same task in multiple pins.

Additionally, you can create the same task in multiple pins.

This editing option is only available in the Web app.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of this feature, you can also attend the part of our live seminar that deals with bulk editing. The seminar includes practical demonstrations and explanations and provides a visual guide to effectively using this tool. Visit the seminar at this link and improve your skills in handling bulk editing.

Edit Multiple Pins

Only open pins can be edited.

  1. Open the Pin list in your Project by Clicking on Pins in the left menu.

  2. Select the pins to be edited by Clicking in the box in the last column. The selected pins now have a white checkmark on a black background.

  3. Click on the pencil icon to open the editing menu.

  4. Select Edit.

  5. Make the desired changes.

  6. Save the changes with Confirm or discard the changes with Cancel.

Available Modification Options

The following changes can be made via bulk editing: - Title: overwrites all existing titles - Status: changes the Status (open, closed, inactive) - Category: assigns a new category - Remove Dataset Link: remove linked Datasets for all selected pins - Add Dataset Link: link another, already available, Dataset from the menu under Dataset or assign new values from an existing Dataset under Dataset link - Edit Tags: Delete or add Tags for all selected pins. If the tag is dark gray, it is assigned to all selected pins. If the tag is light gray with a dark border, it is only assigned to one or some of the selected pins. When you Click on a light gray tag, it turns dark gray and thus is assigned to all other selected pins. If you want to add a new tag, Click in the Add tag Field and type the new word. By Pressing Enter, the tag is created. You can add multiple tags.

Do not forget to confirm all changes with Confirm.
