Bulk Actions

Use bulk actions to copy or edit multiple records at once across PEARS modules.

Bulk actions allow you to copy or edit multiple records at the same time. This feature is available across most modules in PEARS and can save significant time when managing large numbers of records.

TIP: Only records visible on the current page are processed during bulk actions. Increase the number of rows displayed per page to select more items at once.

Supported Modules

Bulk actions are available in the following modules:

• Direct Contacts

• Program Activities

• PSE Site Activities

• Social Marketing Campaigns

• Partnerships

• Coalitions

• Indirect Activities

• Success Stories

• Quarterly Efforts

• Action Plan Reports

NOTE: Bulk copying is not available for Direct Contacts, Success Stories, or Quarterly Efforts. These modules only support bulk editing.
