Making Bulk Updates Using Search

Purpose/Overview

The Bulk Update feature allows users to update multiple records simultaneously after performing a search. This functionality helps streamline data management by enabling users to apply changes to several records at once, eliminating the need to update each record individually.

Bulk updates are available for records returned through Project, Parcel, and Landowner searches, making it easier to manage large volumes of data efficiently and consistently.

Navigation Path:

To access bulk update functionality, run a search from one of the following locations:

• Tools > Project Search
• Tools > Parcel Search
• Tools > Landowner Search
• Tools > Document Search

After the search results are displayed, select the records you want to update using the checkboxes in the results grid and then choose the appropriate bulk update option.

Things to Know:

• Bulk update functionality is available only after a search has been performed.
• Users must select one or more records from the search results before applying a bulk update.
• Available bulk update options vary depending on the type of search performed (Project, Parcel, or Landowner).

Key Benefits/Use Cases:

• Update Multiple Records at Once

  Apply changes to several records simultaneously, reducing the time required for repetitive updates and improving productivity.

• Maintain Data Consistency

  Ensure consistent updates across multiple records by applying the same changes through a single bulk update action.

• Simplify Large-Scale Data Management

  Manage large datasets more efficiently by updating selected records directly from search results rather than opening and editing each record individually.
