FAQ - How do I mass update contacts

Administrators have the option to edit a group of contact records all at one time. You can edit parent or student information. You can filter the list and update a group all at once.

For example, if you want to update the custom field for Board Members to add your new names:

• Go to People / Parents.
  
• Select the new names you wish to add.
  
• Click the "Update Checked" button.
  
• Change the field for Board Members to "Yes."
  
• Click the "Update" button.
  

• Once this is done, it cannot be undone!
  
• Custom Fields that are set up as text fields are not available for the mass update feature.
