Hi All,

Is there a way to use a "Find & Replace" function similar to Excel? Without having to export to excel and reimport.

I only want to change parts of an Activity name.

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart, 

Perhaps you have already tried this (and I suspect it does not fully correspond to your needs), but just bringing awareness to the use of global change (Views>Activity List>Task List>[F10]) to change multiple activity parameters at once. I don't think it has the flexibility to identify and change a specific part of an activity name across different names, so this will depend on how your activities are named. Pairing this with a filter is potentially a solution you could use, again, depending on how your activity list is set up.

You will likely find that fixing this via Excel is the preferred method, especially as importing directly from Excel is simple.

Regards,

Tierney

Thanks for the feedback Tierney. The changes are more suitable in Excel. Would be nice if this function was in TILOS.

Click on the Name Title and it will group all same name activities. 

Choose first line, hold shift key down and scroll down all that need changing (they will be highlighted). 

Go to where you would enter the name and change there. All should change at the same time.
