How do I select activities in Activity Center for batch operations or relocation?
In Activity Center, you select activities using checkboxes next to their names after the selection mode button () in the header of the leftmost column is clicked.
To allow for quick selection of activities or sub-activities, you can use special menu available for projects with activities and activities with sub-activities.
The menu is accessible via a downward arrow beneath the checkbox next to a project (with activities) or activity (with sub-activities), which appears when the pointer is placed on the checkbox ().
Clicking the arrow opens a context-sensitive menu. When applied to projects, it allows checking/unchecking all activities (shortcut: Click + Ctrl). When applied to activities, checking/unchecking all sub-activities is available.
Since the menu is context-sensitive, if a project has already all activities selected, the menu will contain only one command: Uncheck All Activities (Click + Ctrl).
