Bulk Edit
Bulk Edit can be used to update a question field in a registration form on mass. To apply a bulk edit first filter on a form. If a filter is not applied, the bulk edit will be greyed out and will not let you continue. See this article for help creating filters.
Please note bulk editing records should be treated with caution. Many records are updated at the same time so making a mistake will affect multiple records. There is no undo button so please ensure your filter is correct and the bulk edit settings are correct before proceeding.
To do a bulk edit
1. Open SuperCRM.
2. Apply a Filter making sure you have filtered on a Year and Organisation form.
3. Click Modify.
4. Click Bulk Edit.
5. Either create a new bulk edit or use a previous saved bulk edit.
6. To create a new bulk edit, select the Question you want to update.
7. Set the Update to value.
8. A confirmation screen will display how many records will be updated and the change that will be applied.
9. If a large number of records are being updated, the activity will complete in the background and you will receive an email once finished. Otherwise, the update will be applied and the screen will refresh.
Bulk Activity
Bulk Activity can be used to add a Note or a Reminder into people records timeline on mass. This can be a filtered list or applied to the whole SuperCRM.
Please note that there is no undo button so if the selection is wrong then it can affect multiple records.
To action a bulk activity

2. Filter or check the person records you want to update
3. Click Modify

Bulk Activation
Another bulk function Sporty offers is Bulk Activation. This can be used to instantly change all eligible registrations on a form from a Pending to Active state. Registrations requiring special circumstances to be activated (such as those requiring a transfer from another club/organisation) will be safely excluded from this action. A report will detail which registrations were left untouched so they can be individually reviewed.
To do a bulk activation
1. Open SuperCRM.
2. Apply a Filter making sure you have filtered on a Year and Organisation form.
3. Click Modify.
4. Click Bulk Activate.
Sporty will request a final confirmation, informing how many registrations it will attempt to activate. Please note that this count will be inclusive of any registrations with special conditions.
Once this is approved and the process complete, Sporty will send you (the administrator performing the bulk activation) an email with the number of registrations that were updated, and the number that were left alone. Finally, a CSV attachment will come with the email with a breakdown of how the individual registrations were actioned.
Using our above example, we can see which 5 registrations were activated, which 3 require an admin to send a transfer request, and that 4 do not require activation (perhaps due to already being in an active state).
