Bulk Value Updater

Concepts

The Bulk Entrant Value Updater is a tool for mass updating records of various types:

On the left side under Settings, you specify the criteria for the records to be updated. On the right under New values you enter the aspects of those records to be changed. Certifications and assignments can be deleted here in bulk, people can only be updated.

The Bulk Value Updater updates existing objects: people, addresses, certifications, etc. It does not create new objects, which means that you can use it to modify what's already in VSys, but not to add new people, addresses, and other things.

If a user has access to this tool, he can completely bypass VSys security permissions for changing, deleting and updating objects - even those he has no rights to.

Changes made here cannot be un-done automatically. If you've accidentally changed everyone's first name to "George", you'll have to either manually re-enter all of the original names, or restore from a backup.

We highly recommend doing a backup before beginning this process.
