Currently users can only select one requirement at a time on Schedule board. Clicking "Finding Availability" on each Work Order, refreshing resource search and booking it one by one is time-consuming and sometime error-prone when multiple Work Orders (often small routine maintenance tasks) need to be scheduled in the same time slot. If users can "multi-select" unscheduled requirements (by Ctrl+click or some other method), drag and drop them directly to the resource calendar view, this will greatly enhance both product functionality and user productivity.
Comments
In addition to being able to bulk allocate work orders we have a customer who would like to be able to fine control the times for when each W/O is scheduled. For instance they would like to be able to select a number of W/O and specify that each W/O be scheduled 30 minutes apart from each other when allocating the W/O to a resource.

Subject :
==========
Bulk allocate multiple Work Orders to a single resource in the Schedule Board.
Assessment:

When we go on Schedule Board we can assign Work Order to an available resource.
This is a very common business requirement is to assign multiple Work Orders to an available Resource.
Benefits for the proposed feature:
=====================
If we are able to assign multiple Work Orders to a Resource from Schedule Board then it will save lot of time for the users hence it will help to increase the business productivity and help to improve data accuracy as well.
