๐Ÿ“† ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐ŸŽฏ See all tasks on a job via the Schedule (in one click)

๐Ÿ“… Time-turners at the ready! Here's another Streamtime tip to help you work smarter, not harder. During the planning stage of a job, once you've added all the necessary items (including start and end dates), it's helpful to see them visually on the job schedule page. To do this, simply click on the Schedule Button, and voila! You'll be taken to the job schedule page, where you can see all your job items displayed in a clear, easy-to-read format. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

This can be a huge help when you're trying to plan your work and stay on top of deadlines - it's like having your own Time-Turner! โณ Plus, you can easily adjust dates and durations on the schedule page, so you can make changes and updates with ease.

๐Ÿ“† ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ’ผ Jump to a specific job from the schedule view

๐Ÿ” Let's put a little Alohomora magic to work and unlock the secret to easily viewing a job and its items in Streamtime! Say you've just created a new job in the Job Schedule, added some items, and assigned team members. Now you want to take a closer look at the job and its items in detail - what do you do?

It's simple, dear wizard! Instead of searching for the job and items one by one, you can easily navigate to the job page by clicking on the three dots to the right of the job name in the Job Schedule. From there, simply select the 'go to job' option that appears, and you'll be whisked away to the job page where you can see all the details in one place. ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿ“† ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐Ÿ“Œ Jump from the schedule over to a team memberโ€™s ToDo screen

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ Calling all schedulers and taskmasters! If you're responsible for assigning tasks and managing your team's workload in Streamtime, then this tip is for you. Assigning time via the ToDo Schedule is already fast and easy, but did you know that you can also jump directly to a particular team member's ToDo page to see how their week is shaping up? ๐Ÿ”

All you have to do is hover over the team member's name on the ToDo Schedule, and a jump icon will appear. Simply click on the icon, and you'll be taken straight to that team member's ToDo page, where you can see all their assigned tasks and how their week is panning out. It's like having a magical crystal ball to see into the future! ๐Ÿ”ฎ

โฌ‡๏ธ๐ŸŽฏ Expand all tasks on a job with a single click

๐Ÿ“œ Ah, the power of keyboard shortcuts strikes again! Here's a Streamtime tip that's pretty self-explanatory, but no less useful. If you have a job with multiple items, each with descriptions, sub-items, and team members assigned, it can be cumbersome to expand each item one by one. But fear not, dear wizard, for there is a shortcut to help you out!

Hold down the 'Alt' or 'Option' key (depending on your keyboard) while clicking the down arrow on an item, and all details for all items on the job will be unfolded with a single click. ๐Ÿš€ This can be a huge time-saver, especially if you have a lot of items to go through and don't want to waste time clicking around. It's like casting a spell to reveal all the hidden details at once! ๐Ÿช„โœจ

๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“Œ Duplicate a ToDo on your ToDo page

๐Ÿ“… Need a little time-turning magic to help you split your tasks across multiple days in Streamtime? Fear not, dear wizard, for there is a simple trick that can help you do just that. When working in your ToDo screen, you might find that you need to split a task across two days or add some extra time. But how do you do that without creating a whole new task?

It's simple! Just hold down the 'Alt' or 'Option' key while clicking and dragging the ToDo you wish to duplicate. You'll see a little '+' symbol appear, indicating that you're creating a duplicate. Drop the duplicated ToDo wherever you like, and resize it if needed. ๐ŸŽ‰ This can be a huge time-saver, especially if you need to make small adjustments to your schedule without creating a whole new task.

๐Ÿ“†๐ŸŽฏ Schedule a task for a user & estimate time in one fell swoop

Here's a great Streamtime tip for all the schedulers and taskmasters out there! Assigning blocks of time to your team in the ToDo Schedule can be a breeze with this little trick. While it might be a bit tricky to explain in writing, it's actually quite simple once you get the hang of it.

To assign a block of time that spans multiple days, all you need to do is click and drag across the grid in the ToDo Schedule. Before releasing the click, move the mouse upwards, and you'll see the number of hours assigned to each day change. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ This can be a huge time-saver, especially when you need to assign large chunks of time to a task or project.

So give it a try and see how much easier and more efficient your scheduling can be in Streamtime. Happy assigning, wizard! ๐Ÿช„โœจ

โŒ˜๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ โ€˜Commandโ€™ or 'Windows Key' + click in ToDo page to select multiple tasks

๐Ÿ”‘ Unlock the power of batch actions in Streamtime with this handy keyboard shortcut! If you're working in the ToDo page and need to select multiple tasks to action them all at once, simply hold down the 'Command' or 'Windows' key while clicking on the tasks you want to select. ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ

This can be a huge time-saver, especially when you need to perform the same action on multiple tasks at once, like marking them as complete or assigning them to a team member. With just a few clicks, you can select and action multiple tasks like a true wizard! ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

๐Ÿ“Œ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ ToDo right-click menu
