Mark multiple items (for bulk updates)

[Juwlz]

I love the look and feel of GQueues. It's pretty fast, clearly laid
out, and I like colour coding - all features which differentiate it
from another integrated Google Apps project management / ToDo I could
mention!

I'd love a tick box to mark multiple items ready to apply the same
action to all of them in one go (e.g. tag, date, assign to ..., etc.)

Currently, the only tick box is the "mark done" box.

I think I've seen the same request already, so apologies if it's
already in the pipeline, but can't find it on the forum now ;-).

Yes, it's on my list, though it hasn't been scheduled yet.  -Cameron

I second this request. Any estimate on when we might get this feature?

Over a year an no update. Without this feature request implemented how would you recommend someone change 15 task due dates to a future date?

+1 for a way to bulk change stuff.

I'd particularly like to be able to bulk add a tag to an item and all its children (even if it's just with some sort of keyboard shortcut).

[Stefan Lasiewski]

I also have a need for this. If GTD on GQueues is supposed to organize projects based on tags, then we need a tool to apply a tag to multiple items all at once, in bulk.

Has this request been implemented?

Hey Stefan,

I would argue that tags are always going to be a navigation tool in https://www.gqueues.com/ and not a categorisation tool. The nature of a queue is linear; a start and an end.

I'd be interested to hear further thoughts on the two paradigms, and Cameron's intention/s:

1. Organise by category (queues)
   
2. Organise by tag

I would love to be able to drag tags to my task or vice-versa but that doesn't seem like it can happen anytime soon (if at all).  I am new to GQueues, and am sorting out how to use it with Evernote.

It's a work in progress for me, but Cameron has a great program that I want to be able to use to the fullest.

Hi Jon - 

I've got dragging tags (and vice versa) on my list of improvements, but yes, there are some other features that are higher on the priority list right now.

I'm just struggling to use GQueues for GTD. The GQueues and GTD video recommends using Tags to organize my projects. This method would work much better if we could easily drag multiple items onto a tag (or drag a tag onto a task), rather then manually tag every single subtask. Tagging every single subtask is repetitive especially for large projects with dozens of subtasks. I often don't remember to tag my tasks until later.

Hey Stefan,

For projects I have a Project queue

Within the Project queue I have a bunch of tasks, which are my projects

These project tasks have multiple subtasks. Here's an example of a website project template (I'm a web designer/developer):
https://www.gqueues.com/public/queues/ag1zfmdxdWV1ZXMtaHJkciILEgdBY2NvdW50GMaxrwcMCxIFUXVldWUYgICA8NfyhAkM?options=1&assignments=1&notes=1&subtasks=1&tags=1

I usually just tag the project parent task with the company name and individual/s involved - this means when I'm corresponding with a client I can quickly navigate to any projects involving them

My rule of thumb is if there are >1 subtasks involving the same person, then I'll simple tag the parent task. As you say the last thing one wants to be doing is managing tags :/

This is why I would argue tags are for navigation - they're not developed enough to use as an organisation tool

Hope this helps!

Regards,

[Stefan Lasiewski]

I'm a sysadmin and my workflow seems similar to yours.

In GQueues, I create a Parent task for the project which contains a title, brief summary and possibly a link to the email or ticket which started off the project in the first place. If this subtask requires additional, signifigant steps; I add these steps as sub-subtasks. I end up with a nice, organized hierarchy showing me the significant tasks required to complete the project. I believe  this is similar to the method used by James, Russ & Dane (and you?); and this fits into the GTD/ZTD philosophy that "you don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it."

The problem with this method is that the 'next actions' Smart Queue only shows me the Project parent task, not the subtasks required to complete that project. I believe that some of this problem is due to GQueue's GTD system being built around tags, while many of us actually organize using Categories, Queues, Tasks and subtasks.

Have you managed to get the Next Actions smart queue working with your Project queue?

As a Sysadmin (and a parent), I'm often juggling 5-10 projects at a time, so enumerating these next actions would be very helpful.

[Lewis Dexter Litanzios / ldexterldesign]

Hey Stefan,

IMO I think this feature request will clear this problem up:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gqueues/ZTYJwKaoZmA/v9mKlGCHyVcJ - +1 the question if you'd like @Cameron to prioritise the work

I don't use custom smart queues or "next action" tags. I simply date tasks that are time sensitive - sometimes this is the parent task (if the client has paid me to work on the project that day) and sometimes this is a subtask (if I need to complete a task prior to another date [i.e. wire frames for a meeting the following day])

I tend to let my calendar and/or environment dictate what project I work on and when; especially for [paid] work projects - this is my behaviourist interpretation of GTD. It also ties into an agile work methodology well ~ http://csswizardry.com/2014/05/my-trello-workflow/

Hope this helps

Regards,
