Bulk actions
The Bulk Actions page applies one action to a list of work orders or finance jobs. It works through the list one record at a time and shows each result as it goes.
To open it, select Operations > Bulk Operations > Bulk Actions for work orders, or Finance > Bulk Actions for finance jobs.
Run an action
Section titled “Run an action”- Select the Work Orders or Finance Jobs tab.
- For finance jobs, choose the Company.
- Paste the IDs in Work Order ID List or Job ID List, separated by commas, semicolons, tabs, spaces or new lines. The page shows how many IDs it recognized, and which entries it ignored.
- Choose the Action.
- For Cancel, choose the Cancellation Reason.
- Enter the Reason Details, at least 3 characters.
- Select Start, then confirm.
You can run up to 4,999 records at a time, or 99 for Reset. Actions your role does not allow are shown as (not permitted).
To stop, select Stop: TrakIT finishes the current record and stops. Records already done stay done.
The results
Section titled “The results”The counters show the Total, Done, Success and Failed records and the time taken. The table lists each record with its ID (select it to open the record), its Reference, the Result with its message, and its Status after the action.
- Copy Results copies the table, to paste into Excel.
- Clear Results empties it.
Each record is checked against your own permissions and access: a record you cannot see is reported as failed and not changed.
