BULK CHANGE

Introduction

Bulk Change is useful when changes to a group of records or people are required. Some examples where the bulk change feature may be used are:

• Change the expiry date on a group of training records

• Lapse a group of training records

• Delete a group of needs

• Change the location for a group or people

• Archive a group of people

• Change the respondent for a group of forms

Permissions

The bulk change privilege is typically only allocated to administrators and can be managed via Lucidity Access. As this is a feature that can result in a large number of record changes, it is recommended only a very small number of administrators have permissions to the bulk change tool. Refer to the Access Roles page within the Lucidity Access user guide for more details.

Navigation

When the bulk change feature is selected, a wizard opens to guide the process. Available options may be slightly different dependent on which module of Lucidity Software is being accessed. 

Bulk change is available in the following modules:

• Competency

  • Records (update, lapse and delete)

  • Needs (update and delete)

• HR

  • People (update and archive)

• InForm

  • Form records (update, archive and delete)

Filters

Filters are a powerful tool enabling general or very specific searches to be applied. Filters are available on many pages within Lucidity Software.

Filter features:

• Search field for high level filtering

• Various search filters for generating very specific searches

• Ability to apply single or multiple filters at once

• Save filter option

• Reset filters, which returns filters back to default settings (which may include Person Status as Active)

• Clear filters, removing all entries in all filters (which may include removing default settings)
