Add one constraint to multiple activities or tasks

When one constraint (work that must be cleared before a task can be done, such as getting site access) affects two or more activities or tasks at the same time, you can apply that one constraint to all of them. This works in the Masterplan and the Lookahead.

1. Click the constraint's circle to open its card.
2. Click Assign to. A tick box appears next to each activity and task. The bar Assign constraint to multiple works opens at the bottom and shows the constraint's category and name.
3. Tick the activities and tasks that need this constraint. The bar counts them (Assigning to n Tasks, n Activities). The reset icon clears the ticks. Cancel closes the bar.
4. Click Assign in the bar. The dialog Assign constraints to multiple works opens and lists what is affected (Affecting and Assigning to).
5. Check the list, then click Confirm and Assign. To change the ticks, click Back to selection.

The constraint now shows on each activity and task.

To copy a constraint instead, click Copy on the card. It works the same way. The bar reads Apply constraint to multiple works, and the buttons read Paste and Confirm and Copy.

Note: None of the linked activities or tasks can start until the constraint is cleared.
