Bulk Update Users allows Business Administrators to update multiple user profiles at once from the ANVL Admin Portal. Bulk updates apply immediately to live accounts and operate as a full replace per field—any value entered overwrites existing data. Leave fields blank to preserve current values.


Answer

Business Administrators can select multiple users in the Admin Portal and apply standardized updates to specific fields. Only fields entered in the Bulk Update form will be changed.


📝What Can Be Updated in Bulk

  • Supervisor

  • Preferred Language (IETF language setting e.g., en-US, fr-FR)

  • Phone Number

  • Roles (ADMIN and/or TECH)

  • Special Rights (where permitted)

  • User Tags (key:value)

  • Status (Active / Inactive)

Only fields entered in the bulk update form are changed.


Steps

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

  2. Filter or search to locate the users.

  3. Select the checkbox next to each user to update.

  4. Select Bulk Update Users

  5. Enter values for the fields you want to update

    1. Supervisor

      • Enter the Supervisor’s User ID (UUID)

      • Do not enter the supervisor’s name or email

      • 👉 See Find a User ID (UUID) for help locating this value

    2. Phone Number

      • Enter numbers only

      • Do not include spaces, dashes, parentheses, or special characters

    3. User Tags

      • Use the format: tag:value

      • Example: Job Title:Foreman

      • Multiple tags must be entered as comma-separated tag:value pairs

  6. Leave fields blank to keep existing values

  7. Select Update

  8. Wait for the updates to process. You will see a small window for each user pop up in the right-hand corner. Wait for the pop-ups to stop.

  9. Verify changes were successful in the Successful Submissions table.
