How to Multi-Select Tasks and Use Every Bulk Action in CrewBox

Select any number of tasks and change them all in one move — this guide covers selection and each of the four bulk actions in detail.

Part 1 — Selecting Tasks

  1. Open any task list — the Tasks tab or a project's Tasks tab.
  2. Long-press a task — selection mode starts with that task selected.
  3. Tap other tasks to add or remove them from the selection.
  4. Back out to exit selection mode, or complete an action.

Long-press a task to enter multi-select, then tap more tasks to build your selection.

Bulk actions sheet with Assign, Change Priority, Change Status, and Tags options

Tap Actions to bulk-assign, change priority or status, or edit tags for every selected task at once.

Filter first, select second — the power move. Filter to "Status: To Do + Priority: Urgent" or group by Assignee (filtering guide), then select within the narrowed list with confidence.

Part 2 — The Four Bulk Actions

With tasks selected, open the actions sheet:

Assign

Hands every selected task to one crew member.

  1. Select tasks → Assign → pick the person from the crew list.
  2. All selected tasks reassign; the new assignee gets Assignment notifications and sees them in "Assigned to Me" immediately.

Use it for: morning dispatch ("today's ten items → Jake"), covering a sick day, rebalancing after grouping by Assignee. Only operators assigned to the project appear (add them first).

Change Status

Sets every selected task to To Do, In Progress, or Done.

Use it for: end-of-day close-out (walkthrough confirmed done → select all → Done), kicking off a phase (select the block → In Progress).

Change Priority

Applies Low / Medium / High / Urgent to the selection.

Use it for: escalating after a client call or inspection notice ("everything in unit 204 → Urgent"), demoting a postponed phase to Low.

Change Tags

Applies a tag set across the selection.

Use it for: stamping a phase's tasks ("rough-in"), marking a batch for billing or warranty follow-up. Tags then feed filtering and tag-grouping.
