How to add tasks and schedule events for multiple projects in one single view

Written by Ashok P

The usual way to add tasks and schedule them for project resources is from the project details view (Plan > Scheduling). This approach works well when managing one or two projects.

If you are a project manager or a resource managing multiple projects, you can avoid switching between them by adding tasks and scheduling them from "Projects > Scheduling." Here, you can manage tasks and schedules for all your projects in one view.

You will see three tabs on the Scheduling page.

#1 Scheduling

Go to the Scheduling tab to see the event schedule for all projects. You can use the following options to check and schedule events.

Project and Resource filters

Set the project and resource filters at the top of the page to see specific events.

Daily, Weekly, and Monthly views

Switch between daily, weekly, and monthly views to see the completed and upcoming events.

In the weekly view, you can view the schedule by working hours, resources, and projects.

Scheduling events in the Resource view can help you identify available time slots for installers and technicians, and schedule them for projects.

Scheduling events in the Project view is useful if you want to create an event schedule for the project in one sitting.

Show/hide options

  • Choose to see the schedule with completed events and service events.

  • Choose to see the days when no events are scheduled and schedule installers and technicians for projects.

  • Choose to see non-working days on the calendar.

Search events by account or project

Click the Search icon, enter the account or project name, and view a filtered list of completed and scheduled events.

  • If no events are scheduled for the account or project, schedule them as soon as possible.

  • If you have the Show service events option set to ON, you can also schedule service calls.

Add event

Click on the day on which you want to schedule the event, and you will see a modal to select the project, add the tasks, and set the time for the event.
