Managing Multiple Opportunities with Bulk Actions
Using Bulk Actions for Opportunity Cards
The bulk actions feature in the CRM's Opportunities section allows you to efficiently manage many opportunity records at the same time. Instead of editing each card individually, you can select a group of opportunities and apply changes to all of them simultaneously, directly from the Kanban card view. This is ideal for quickly updating your sales pipeline.
Accessing the Bulk Actions Feature
To begin, navigate to the Opportunities tab from the main menu. Once there, ensure you are viewing the pipeline you wish to manage by using the dropdown menu at the top of the page. You can perform bulk actions in either the visual Cards view or the more list-oriented List view; use the toggle at the top-right to switch between them.
Selecting Opportunities
To select opportunities for a bulk action, hover your cursor over a card. A checkbox will appear in the top-right corner of the card. Click this checkbox to select the opportunity. You can repeat this process to select multiple cards. If you are viewing more than 20 opportunities, a "Select All" button will appear, allowing you to quickly select every opportunity on the current page.
While in selection mode, standard functions like dragging cards or clicking to open them are temporarily disabled to prevent accidental actions.
Performing a Bulk Edit
After you have selected one or more opportunities, an Edit button will appear at the top of the screen. Clicking this button opens a panel where you can choose a field to update for all selected records.
- Assign Owner: Reassign the selected opportunities to a different team member.
- Change Pipeline and Stage: Move the opportunities to a different sales pipeline or change their current stage within a pipeline.
- Update Status: Mark the opportunities as Open, Won, Lost, or Abandoned.
After making your selection, confirm the change to apply it to all selected opportunities.
