Use Bulk Entry With Steps

Sometimes you just need to update a little data. Other times, you need to update a lot. When you're updating a lot, Rock’s bulk update tools for steps are here to help. Instead of making the same change one person at a time, you can apply updates to large groups in a single action.

There are two ways to bulk update Steps:

• Use the ti ti-truck icon from the top or bottom of a list grid. Just select the individuals you want to update, then click the icon to launch the Bulk Update screen.
• Or, use the ti ti-truck icon from the Step Program or Step Type pages to enter bulk entry mode.

In our Discipleship example we can use the “Pastor” attribute to record which pastor performed the baptisms. This is great if large groups are baptized by different pastors because you only have to select a pastor once for any number of individuals. We’ll cover how to set up attributes like this in the next chapter below.
