Right-click menu

The right-click tools are available on the Schedule and Project plan pages, allowing you to quickly adjust your team’s work. If your team is on the Pro or Enterprise plan, you can also use the right-click menu on the Log Team and Log Time pages.

To access the available options, right-click anywhere on the Schedule, or select the pointer icon at the bottom-right of the page. Keyboard shortcuts are listed next to each action. Press A or Esc on your keyboard to return to Add/Edit mode.

Right-click actions on the Schedule and Project plan

The right-click actions on the Schedule and Project plan include:

  • Add/Edit - A

  • Quick add - Q

  • Split - S

  • Link - L

  • Complete - C

  • Delete - D

Right-click actions on the Schedule and Project plan


​Add/Edit (A)

The default setting. Use it to create a new allocation or edit the existing one.

 Allocating time on the Schedule and editing it with A.

Quick add (Q)

This feature is currently being rolled out across Float. If you don’t see it in your account yet, it will be available to your team in the coming weeks—stay tuned!

Use this edit mode to plan quickly, skipping the allocation menu. You can click to create a one-day allocation or click and drag to add multi-day allocations. By default, the allocations are assigned to the last project used.

📝Note: Quick add allocations are always created as full-day allocations, but once added, they can be adjusted as needed.

Quick add (Q) allocations

💡 Here's a tip: On the Project plan, the allocations added with Quick add are automatically assigned to the relevant project. If the project has phases, the allocations get  assigned to the phase that was created last. 

Split (S)

Use this shortcut to divide the existing allocation.

📝Note: Allocations must cover at least two days to be split. Recurring allocations cannot be split. Only users with edit access can split allocations.

Link (L)

With the link option, you can connect allocations belonging to the same project.

Linking allocations on the Schedule.

Complete (C)

The C shortcut helps you quickly change the allocation status to complete. When set as complete, a checkmark appears next to the completed allocation, and the color becomes translucent. Completed allocations can be filtered and isolated in reports.

The right-click actions on the Log time/Log time pages are limited to Add/Edit, Log, and Delete.
