- Using the action bar that appears, you can edit the selection collectively or archive them as done via "Complete".

❓ FAQ
How do I recognize whether a field is mandatory? → Mandatory fields are indicated by a red label. Without filling them in, the entry cannot be saved.
Can I edit multiple entries at once? → Yes. Using the checkboxes in the list view (List Editor 2.0), you can select multiple entries and edit or complete them collectively.
Can I delete existing entries? → Yes, provided you have write rights in the team board.
Are images from the description field exported? → No. Images and tables within the description field are not included in the export.
What is the difference between tenant-specific lists and core lists? → Tenant-specific lists are created and designed individually by the System Administrator. → Core lists (e.g. Feedback, Go & See, ReKo Attendance, Top Topics, Weekly Topics) are predefined by the system and cannot be modified.
