Bulk actions

Bulk actions provide a quick and easy way to update multiple time entries in one go. Whether you want to delete an entire day, change custom fields or make a copy of multiple time entries, bulk actions will make it happen.

Selecting time entries

Both the list view and grid view support bulk actions. You can use the checkboxes to trigger the so-called action bar. It is not possible to select other weeks than the one you are currently viewing.

In the grid view, you have the option to:

• toggle all visible time entries by clicking on the top left checkbox in the header of the table,

• toggle all visible time entries in a row.

The list view allows you to select:

• all time entries,

• all time entries per day,

• single time entries.

Tip

You can select multiple subsequent time entries on your timesheet by holding down on your keyboard while selecting the first and last time entry you want to select. Learn more about keyboard shortcuts ➜

Validation

A timesheet can contain a disabled checkbox. This can happen because:

• There are no time entries to select,

• One or multiple fields have been archived,

• One or multiple fields have been deleted,

• The period is locked.

In case a time entry ends up being invalid while an action is running, it will not get updated. Instead, the time entry (including an explanation) will be shown in an overview after the action has finished.
