🧭Before You Start (Important)

  • Inline edits apply immediately to live user accounts

  • Use inline edits for single-user, low-risk changes only

  • For standardized or multi-user updates, use Bulk Update Users


🎯Why This Matters

Inline editing allows Business Administrators to make quick, targeted updates without the risk associated with bulk actions.

This approach:

  • Reduces risk when changing a single user

  • Avoids unintended changes to other users

  • Applies updates immediately for faster resolution


⏱️When to Do This

  • Updating a single field for one user

  • Correcting name, contact, or language information

  • Making one-off adjustments that should not affect other users


🛠️Steps: Edit a User In-Line

  1. Open the User Management tab in the ANVL Admin Portal.

  2. Use search or filters to locate the user.

  3. Click directly into the editable field you want to change.

  4. Update the value.

  5. Select Save to apply the change or Cancel to discard it.

  8. Click Refresh or refresh the browser page.

  9. Confirm changes were successful.
