Sometimes one change is not enough.

Bulk changes let you update multiple employees, days, or time blocks in one go.

Use this to save time and keep your schedule consistent.

When to use bulk changes

Use bulk changes when:

  • Multiple people need the same update
  • A shift pattern needs adjusting
  • You need to fix a gap across a team
  • A temporary change affects several employees

If you are repeating the same action more than twice, use bulk changes.

How bulk changes work

Bulk changes apply one action across a selected group.

You choose:

  • Days
  • Time range
  • Skill
  • Employees

The system then applies the change in one step.

Apply a bulk change

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Schedule
  2. Click Actions
  3. Select ‘Generate changes’
  4. Choose:
    1. Days to apply the change
    2. Time range
    3. Skill to assign
    4. Employees affected
  5. Confirm the change

The update is applied instantly.

What bulk changes can do

You can use bulk changes to:

  • Add a shift across multiple employees
  • Replace an existing skill
  • Fill gaps quickly
  • Apply temporary coverage

It is one of the fastest ways to fix your schedule.

Important to know

  • Bulk changes overwrite existing shifts in the selected time
  • Changes apply immediately
  • They do not update the shift template

Always double-check before applying.

Check your schedule after

After applying a bulk change:

  • Review coverage
  • Check for gaps in other skills
  • Confirm the right employees were updated

Use Employees by skill or Staffing view to validate.

Best practice

  • Use bulk changes for speed
  • Keep changes targeted
  • Double check before confirming
  • Always review coverage after

What next

👉 Day Notes

Add context to your schedule so your team knows what is happening and why.
