Admins and managers can apply the same change to multiple people at once using bulk actions on the Manage People page. Supported actions include changing a reviewer, changing Check-in due days, setting a vacation, and deactivating accounts. Changes are applied immediately and reflected on the Manage People page when complete.
Before You Begin
- Account admins can apply bulk actions to anyone in the organization. Managers can apply bulk actions to their direct reports and anyone below them in the hierarchy.
Steps 1–4: Select people and open the Actions menu
These four steps apply to every bulk action. After step 4, continue to the section for the action you want to perform.
- Go to People in the left-hand navigation.
- Use the search bar or filters to find the people you want to update.
- Check the box next to each person's name.
- Click Actions at the top of the page and select an option from the dropdown.
Change Reviewer
- Select the manager you want to reassign the selected people to.
