Bulk Data management guide

The Bulk Data feature on the Management dashboard allows a Controller to make changes to many user accounts from a centralised place, rather than visiting each employee via Employee files.

For instance, if a department is splitting and some employees are moving location, rather than going to each individual employee’s file page in that department and updating their location, you can use the Manage users function of Bulk data to select all relevant employees to make the update.
