Q1. What is the Bulk Activity Addition feature in the 'To plan' table, and how does it help me plan activities like Depot Visits or Intermodal Stops more efficiently?
A. The Bulk Activity Addition feature enables you to select several unassigned orders directly within the Planning > To plan table and instantly assign a common activity—such as a Depot Visit, Intermodal Stop, or other specific activity types—to all of them at once.
This function is designed to streamline the planning workflow and reduce manual effort by allowing planners to:
Quickly Add Activities: Instead of navigating to individual order details, you can efficiently schedule activities across a batch of orders in the To plan queue. For example, you can select 50 orders awaiting planning and instantly assign a Depot Visit activity to all of them.
Reduce Repetitive Data Entry: It provides the same efficient bulk-add capability that was previously available only on the Orders table, saving time when planning similar activities for multiple orders.
Important Notes:
You can select up to 100 orders for a single bulk action.
You can select orders across multiple pages.
