Batch edit details for group members

You may want to make the same changes to many user accounts at once, such as changing the job role, or assigning an accreditation. You can do this by changing each user account individually, or you can use the batch edit facilities for a group.

Click Batch Edit on the “Group Members” page to show the “User Details” page. The page is similar to the normal “User Details” page, but the fields are slightly different. Complete the fields that you want to edit for all users, and click Submit to save them. Only fields that you modify are saved—blank fields are ignored. If you want to remove the email address for all users, you must tick the Use a blank email address check box.

Instead of check boxes, the User must change password at next sign in, Account is disabled, and Message board is enabled items are replaced with drop down lists. Select the value “Do not change” to leave all users with the current settings, or select “Yes” or “No” to change the setting for all users.

Like the user details, you can also edit the additional information fields for all members of a group. Click Information in the contents menu to display the “Additional Information” page. The page is similar to the normal “Additional Information” page for a single user, except you cannot upload photographs. Complete the fields that you want to change for all members of the group, and click Submit to save them. Only fields that you supply a value for are saved—blank fields are ignored.

Finally, you can also assign accreditations to all members of a group. Click Accreditation in the contents menu to display a list of available accreditations. Tick the check box next to the accreditations you want to assign to the users, and click Submit. Each accreditation is assigned directly to the users, provided they are not already working toward the accreditation.
