The Bulk Reschedule functionality allows managers to update multiple scheduled items at once instead of moving or editing each item manually.
This is useful when a project is delayed, moved forward, put on hold, reassigned to another team member, or when several planned items need to be adjusted together.
Bulk Reschedule can be used with items visible on the ActivityTimeline Planner,
Bulk Reschedule functionality allows performing five main types of operations:
-
shifting issues forward or backward
-
unscheduling issues
-
reassigning issues to another user
-
cloning issues
-
approving / unapproving custom events
Bulk Reschedule can be used with items visible on the ActivityTimeline Planner.
Predefined non-working events, such as Days Off, Holidays, and Sick Leaves, are excluded from bulk rescheduling because they usually represent fixed availability changes rather than movable project work.

Where to Find Bulk Reschedule
Bulk Reschedule can be opened in two ways.
For a Whole Team
To perform bulk actions for a team or a wider set of visible items, open the Issue Panel and go to:
Extra → Bulk Reschedule
This option is useful when you need to update items across a project, team, or selected timeline period.
For a Specific User
To perform bulk actions for one user, open the user’s card:
Click the user’s name → Bulk Reschedule
This option is useful when only one person’s scheduled work needs to be moved, reassigned, cloned, or unscheduled.
How Bulk Reschedule Works
Bulk Reschedule updates all selected items as a single set of activities.
For example, if a project is delayed by two weeks, you can move all related Jira issues, bookings, placeholders, and notes forward together instead of dragging each item separately on the timeline.
The action is applied only to items that match the selected filters and criteria.
1. Choose Action
Select the operation you want to perform.
For Move Forward By and Move Backward By, define the number of days, weeks, or years.
The default time unit is weeks.
2. Choose Team or User
Select whose timeline items should be affected.
Available options may include:
-
All Teams
-
A specific team
-
A specific user
This allows you to apply the action broadly or limit it to a particular resource.
3. Choose Project
Select which project should be affected.
Available options:
-
All Projects
-
A specific project
This helps you limit the operation to items related to one project only.
4. Set Period
Specify the period using the From and To fields.
Only items within the selected date range will be included in the bulk operation.
5. Choose Item Type
Choose which types of items should be affected.
Available item types include:
-
Jira Issues
-
Placeholders
-
Bookings
-
Notes
For example, you can move only Jira issues while leaving bookings and notes unchanged.
6. Select Exact Items
After applying the filters, you can review and select the exact items that should be included in the operation. This gives you additional control before applying the bulk change.
Important Notes
-
Bulk Reschedule applies the selected action to the matching items visible on the timelines, starting from the first visible day and within the selected criteria.
-
The system can include Jira issues, placeholders, bookings, and notes, depending on the selected item types.
-
Days Off, Holidays, and Sick Leaves are excluded from bulk rescheduling.
-
Please note that the system does not automatically account for weekends when shifting items forward or backward. If items are moved across weekends, review the resulting schedule and adjust it if needed.
