• (00:01) Tony Holowitz kicks off the tutorial by explaining how the Act Premium Cloud task list and calendar both display scheduled activities, recommending the task list for calls and the calendar for meetings.
• (00:37) He stresses that if a task is important, it should be scheduled on the calendar instead of relying on to-do lists.
• (01:12) Tony demonstrates selecting multiple tasks: use the control key for individual selections and the shift key to select a range.
• (01:47) He shows that once tasks are selected, clicking the trash icon deletes them, though sometimes a screen refresh may be necessary to see the changes.
• (02:22) A drawback he notes is that deleting tasks doesn't log them as completed, meaning no historical record is created.
• (02:57) He points out that while you can delete multiple tasks in the cloud version, you cannot mark them as completed in bulk like in the desktop version.
• (03:27) Tony concludes by suggesting that adding the desktop version might be a good idea for enhanced functionality and reassures that improvements in the cloud version may come over time.
Key Takeaways:
• Act Premium Cloud now allows deletion of multiple tasks from the task list.
• Keyboard shortcuts (control and shift) make selecting tasks easy and efficient.
• Scheduling calls and meetings on the calendar can be more effective than using to-dos.
• Deleting tasks removes them permanently without creating a completion history.
• The desktop version offers extra features like marking tasks as completed in bulk.
• The cloud version has current limitations but improvements are likely over time.
• Combining the strengths of both cloud and desktop versions can optimize task management.
