2 feature requests...

[Mikel]

1) facility to edit tasks as a group, e.g. several with same date - change all to another date as a group without having to do each separately

2) sync Calendar with external providers' calendars, e.g. Stanza

Mikel, thanks for the request.

In DejaTask, click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
Choose the third item, select multiple
Once selected, long press on one, or hit the three dots menu again.

This allows you to do the following options on a batch:

Set Due Date, Set Priority, Delete, Set Category, Add Category, Complete, or Uncomplete.

***

We sent the native Calendar. Most apps should be able to read from the native Calendar. Android Calendar format is problematic; it is open source, after all. So I would not expect certain recurring events to survive a round trip intact, for instance weekly recurring, or recurrences with exception dates.

DJOCTO, belated thanks for your reply and apologies for only just having seen it.

Unfortunately when I follow your advice (using DJO on iPad) if I choose the third item it simply changes the date for the individual task and I don't see the option to select "multiple".

Grateful if you can advise what I'm getting wrong here.

Mikel,

It looks like currently multi-select is only a feature in DejaOffice for Android. I will add this to our Feature Requests list for DejaOffice for iPhone\iPad.

[Mikel]

Thanks, Thomas. That would be a very helpful feature.

On the subject of batch converting dates, categories...I'm not seeing how to do this in the Deja Office CRM program for MEMOS and CONTACTS. Is there a way to do this?

[Thomas]

Mmish,

We are still working on this feature for Apple, but for Android, if you open DejaOffice, tap the 3 dots in the right right, and choose Select Multiple, this will allow you to add a category to multiple records at once.
