Clients Bulk Update

In the Clients list, you can use the Bulk Update to update Settings of selected or all clients.

You can first filter the Clients list and then use the Bulk Update to apply to the clients that are currently displayed. This can be used if you want to change settings for all clients in a specific Client Group. You can also filter clients with one or more Custom Fields by adding the Custom Field(s) as additional columns.

Bulk Update allows you to:

• Change the defaults for the Cabinet and Categories
• Set whether Send Attachments is set to "Email", "OneDrive" or "Postal Service"
• Set the Include in AutoFile to set if the selected clients are "Include" or "Exclude".

These are the settings that are applied to individual clients in the Client - Settings tab. Refer to Client Settings.

If any of the settings are not changed, this will keep the original setting in each of the selected clients. A message displays in the drawer as a reminder of this.

1. If required, first filter the Clients list to display the clients you want to apply the Bulk Update to.
   
   
2. Select one or more client in the Clients list.
   
   
3. Click the Bulk Update button in the tool bar.

5. Select the setting you want to change for the selected clients.
   When you select a Cabinet, the relevant Categories display.
   To change the Include in AutoFile setting of the selected clients, set this as  "Include" or "Exclude" as relevant.
