When working with an elaborate schedule it is important to be properly organized. Descriptive task names, proper Work Breakdown Structure, and clever filters will make working with complex task schedules easy. Additionally understanding the functionality and best practices for basic tasks selection greatly improves workflow speed.

Tasks can be selected from the Gantt Chart or the Task Table. Select multiple tasks by holding either Ctrl or Shift. Holding Shift while selecting tasks selects the task that is clicked and any other tasks that exist between the last selected task and the currently selected task, retaining any current selections. Holding Ctrl while selecting tasks previously unselected tasks selects the task that is clicked, retaining any current selections.

In some situations WBS level can be changed in Fuzor by indenting and outdenting tasks after a task is created or imported.

Collapsing a WBS parent hides the children of the task from the gantt chart. This is a good way filtering visble tasks to operate on a large schedule. Expanding a collapsed group will show the group’s children.
