Bulk actions

With Bulk Actions in Plaky, managing projects becomes incredibly efficient and time-saving, without repetitive manual work. Simply select the desired tasks, choose the action you want to apply, and watch as Plaky handles the rest.

This feature is available on paid plans only.

What you can do in Bulk #

Bulk actions are available on any combination of items and subitems on the board. It is possible to bulk edit the attribute values, bulk move to group, bulk duplicate, or bulk delete items.

Only 500 entities (Item groups, Items, Subitems) can be selected at once in a bulk.

How to use Bulk actions #

To apply bulk actions:

1. Open your Board
2. Mark the items you want to use for bulk action, using the checkbox besides them.
   
   You can mark the whole item group at once or item by item
   
3. Select the action to perform on selected Items

 If a whole item group is selected, subitems from that group are automatically selected too.

Bulk edit Field values #

To Bulk edit Field values, just update the Field value (for any type of Field) within one of the marked Items/Subitems. The change you make will apply to all selected Items and Subitems.

Move selected Items #

Items can be moved to another group on the same Board or to another Board.

To move Item to another group:

1. Click on Move Icon on the floating bar
