A quick way to select and take action on as many Activities or Entries as you want.
To help you review and prepare your captured Activities and Entries for release more easily, Time by Ping (TBP) makes it simple to select and deselect one or many in just a click or two. Depending on what Activities or Entries you’ve selected, you’ll be able to carry out different actions for each. Here, we describe what you can do.
How do I select an Activity or Entry?
