Be Careful! These actions can make major changes to your LMS that cannot be undone.
Admins no longer have to go into a User's profile to make a change or perform an action on each user individually. Bulk actions can now be run on large numbers of records simultaneously.
The Bulk Admin Actions Tool currently has support for changing Users and Modules.
To use the Bulk Actions tool, navigate to the Admin Tool → System → Bulk Admin Actions. There are two methods to select your subset of records to modify: you can either use the built-in Rules Engine to make your selection, or import a .CSV file. You can download a template file from the Bulk Actions Tool page. We have an animated walk through of this process on The Drop.
The Bulk Admin Actions Tool is only available to Super Admins.
Note: If you chose to Export the Template please be sure not to add anything above or before "username" before the file is uploaded as this can cause it to not upload.
After kicking off a bulk module completion, the Admin's screen will grey out and they will see a progress modal indicating that the system is working on completing the process. You can close the modal and will be taken back to the Bulk Completions page, where a flashing checkmark will indicate that the system is still working. You can also safely close the tab, and the system will continue to process the bulk actions.
