Performing Batch Actions for Contacts
In Outcomes, you can save time by performing actions on multiple contacts simultaneously. To perform a batch action:
- Go to the Contacts View and select your desired filters.
- Click the checkbox at the top of the list of Contacts to select all contact records on the page, or select individual contacts one at a time.
- If the list of contacts extends past the first page, you’re presented with an option to select the entire batch. Click Select all… to include all contacts.
- From the bottom of the list, select which batch action you’d like to perform. The actions available here are dependent on your permissions in the software.
