Move work in the schedule

Use scheduling actions to move work items in the Work list and Swimlane context panel.

Overview

The Pulse Scheduling Experience provides the ability for schedulers to move one or more work items within a schedule. Work items can be offset by a number of days or weeks before or after their current scheduled date and time up to 365 days in the future. This bulk-move capability is a powerful way to make changes to multiple work items with a single action.

Prerequisites

  • The following permission is needed by the scheduler to perform this action:
    • Modify all data
  • The work item must meet the following criteria:
    • Have a start date
    • Must not be locked
    • Must not have a canceled or complete status

The ability to move work items can be accessed from the following places in the Pulse Scheduling Experience in the web app:
