The purpose of this tool is to facilitate entering interval Order or Task dates into multiple orders.
Interval dates are delivery dates with equal gaps between them, for example, delivering an episode a day, every 2 days, once a week, etc…
In the following example, I will set interval deliveries of one episode a day, starting from May 2nd.
Scheduling Interval dates with the Multi cell pick functionality
Start by switching to the “Multi cell pick” editing mode
Select the cells you want to update in the column in one of the following ways:
Select the whole column by clicking the equivalent “Multi-cell pick” icon in the column’s header (fig 1)
Select specific cells by dragging over them with ctrl clicked
Cherry-pick specific cells with ctrl clicked
Once the required cells are selected (fig 2)
Click the Edit button to set up the date interval (fig 3)
Start by entering the delivery date of the first order in the “Update date” field (fig 1)
Click The Gear button to set up the interval (fig 2)
Set the required gap, in days or in weeks, between the delivery dates (fig 3)
Switch on “Skip over weekends” if you want to refrain from setting delivery dates to weekend days (fig 4)
If you switch off “Skip over weekends”, weekend days will be marked with pink frames after the dates will be entered to differentiate them from week days
Click Save and close to schedule the dates (fig 5)
This will be the result when “Skip over weekends is On.
Orders/tasks will not be scheduled on weekend days
This will be the result when “Skip over weekends is Off.
Orders/tasks will be scheduled on weekend days.
Weekend days will have a purple frame to differentiate them from week days
Scheduling Interval dates with “Paste”
Start by entering the delivery date of the first order in the “Update date” field (fig 1)
Click The Gear button to set up the interval (fig 2 )
Set the required gap, in days or in weeks, between the delivery dates (fig 1)
Switch on “Skip over weekends” if you want to refrain from setting delivery dates to weekend days (fig 2)
Once set, you can start entering the delivery dates with the interval.
The dates can be applied either by double-clicking the required date field or by clicking the “Paste” button of the date field.
This would paste the date that is displayed in the “Update date” field.
