Right now, if you want to have everyone haul or clean for example, you have to untick every job for every colonist and later check it again.

My idea is to have a global override. Click on the task name in the Overview (let's say cleaning) and it changes color, becoming top priority. As soon as you done it, everyone would clean (essentially, it ignores every non-critical task in favor of this one. Firefighting and doctoring are exempt ).
Click again to turn off.

That way you can get your colonists to do stuff with a single click, without the hassle of re-sceheduling their task priorities every time.

Toss in an option the same to disable a task type and I'm on board.

Click one to change to disable (text color turns red), twice to set to override (text color changes to green), three times to set back to normal?

either that, or add new UI icons by each task. Frankly, I prefer the first. Less clutter on the screen.
