Mass (batch) assign

Learn how to make a mass or batch assignment, which is making the same assignment to multiple users.

Updated over a week ago

The mass assign feature enables the assignment of any product or a combination of products to multiple users at one time which is more efficient than making the same assignment for users one at a time.

IMPORTANT: Mass assign will only work on user accounts that have not been assigned the product(s) before. Conover Online does have safety features built into the mass assign feature to prevent making double assignments or accidentally overwriting an existing assignment.

Also, mass assign will not reassign any completed unit or program. Reassignment will still have to be done manually (how to reassign). We can enable a setting so your organization can reassign completed units or programs and to do so please contact our Support team using the chat icon while you are logged into your account.

For example:

If you are mass assigning the Workplace Readiness program to a group of users and one of the user's already has had Workplace Readiness previously assigned to them, Conover Online will automatically NOT assign Workplace Readiness the second time via the mass assign feature so 1) credits are not used to assign a program that the user already has already been assigned and 2) the user's progress and data from the initial Workplace Readiness assignment are not overwritten and lost.

The first thing you need to do is choose the users that will get the assignment. To do this choose View Accounts.

Next, you will need to choose which users should get the assignment from this screen. You can use the search feature or the Tag or Group filter to help you sort and find your users.

To choose the users, check the box in front of their name. The checkbox at the top of the screen will choose all of the users listed on the page. Once you check one of the boxes, a toolbar will appear at the bottom of the screen. There is a link in the toolbar that will allow you to choose all of the users across all of the pages.

Once you have all of your users checked, choose the Assign button. This will take you to the screen where you can choose from the assignment options.

Below are a few topics that will show you how to use the 2 different option for making assignments to your users. Select the title to expand the contents.
