Mass update to change or shift all project dates and keep project structure + shift all sub-tasks dates with main tasks

Mass update to change or shift all project dates and keep project structure + shift all sub-tasks dates with main tasks

Most users would expect that if they change the start date of their project then that will be reflected inside the actual project and any project structure would be retained.  Additionally if a task list with associated sub-tasks is moved, most users would expect that those sub-tasks would also be moved along with their parent task.  This is not the case.

For a total Project shift of dates:
* the start and end date from > "Edit Project" page can have a radio button added to "shift all project tasks and IMPORTANTLY all sub-tasks dates" to automatically reflect the shift of project start date by x number days and keep the existing structure of the project. 



For a bulk task list and sub-tasks shift of dates rather than a total project shift:
* a simple button (where all the other buttons exist to mass update) when selecting all tasks (available in plain or classic view) to shift the main task (and subsequently IMPORTANTLY all sub-tasks) by x number days.


For Gantt view it would be great if you could either "select all" or drag and drop more than one thing to just drag everything around in one clump... or by selecting the head task / task list and moving it.  Importantly the sub-tasks should also move with the main task... just like the dependencies move with each other.

    • Four types of task dependencies

      "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."                                                                                                                  - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

    • Tip: How to print the Gantt View

      Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

    • Task and Project numbering

    • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

      Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

    • Blueprint in Zoho Projects

      Often, we stumble upon tasks having the same status workflow. Repetitive task processes are tedious to handle, right? That’s why we have introduced Blueprint for task automation. Blueprint is a tool to organize tasks and automate them based on the workflow you design and the criteria you define.    How do I associate tasks with a blueprint? You can set the criteria while creating the blueprint such that when you publish a blueprint, the tasks that satisfy the criteria will be associated with the
