Bulk-actioning a list of open items

Close, reassign, or update a batch of open items in one go without doing them one by one.

Practical steps

  1. 1

    Filter the issue list to the records you want to action. Filter by sub-contractor, type, or due date.

  2. 2

    Tap Select. Tap each record's checkbox, or tap Select All if you want every record in the filter.

  3. 3

    A bulk-action menu appears at the bottom. Common actions: Reassign, Update due date, Close, Add comment.

  4. 4

    Pick the action. Confirm the action affects the count shown in the menu, not just one record.

  5. 5

    Tap Apply. Confirm the change appears on each record by reopening one or two at random.

Key takeaways

  • Filter first, select second. Bulk-selecting an unfiltered list is how mistakes happen.
  • The count shown in the bulk-action menu is the safety check. Confirm it matches what you intended.
  • Random-sample a few records to confirm the bulk action actually applied.
