INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: The Mass Update Events feature allows admins to quickly apply changes to multiple events at once. By updating fields from the original event setup tab, it reduces manual work and streamlines bulk updates to settings like membership rules, pricing, registration options, and visibility.
Use Cases:
Membership Updates: Adjust membership rules for multiple events in one step.
Bulk Pricing Changes: Modify pricing across events efficiently.
Visibility Adjustments: Enable or disable public visibility for selected events.
Registration Standardization: Ensure uniform registration settings across multiple events.
Error Fixes: Quickly correct inconsistencies in event setups.
PREREQUISITES
Organizations must have more than one event created.
This feature is only available for Organization Admins. Sub-Admins cannot access this feature.
Understand the basics of Mass Updating Events by reviewing the overview article here.
Note: Additional Action Types are currently in development to further expand this feature’s capabilities. At this time, the supported types include fields from the Event Setup and Guest Setup tabs. This article focuses on the Event Setup fields which are controlled by the Action Type - Update Membership Fields.

MASS UPDATE EVENTS: Event Setup Action Type
Navigate to Events Mass Update:
Locate Events in the left Admin navigation.
Select Other Actions.
Choose Mass Update.
Step 1: Find your Events Using Mass Update Filters
Use the Filter Events section at the top of the page to narrow down the list of events you want to mass update. Based on your selected filters, matching events will appear in the Filtered Events table at the bottom of the page.
Required Fields
You must enter either an Event Start Date or Event End Date.
Leaving both fields blank will return no results.
Note: Past events cannot be searched or updated.
Filter Options
Category: Select an Event Category to further narrow the list of events.
Search for Events: Enter text or numbers to search for specific events. You can, for example, search by Event ID or type the first few letters of an event name.
If events are selected using this field, they will appear in the Selected Event(s) list. Use the red X to remove any event you no longer want to include.
Event Session: Select a specific session to narrow your results, if applicable.
Tag: Use event tags to filter and target specific types of events.
Instructor: Enter an instructor’s name to limit the search to events associated with that instructor.
Confirm the events shown under the Filter Events section at the bottom of the screen are correct. You can select certain ones (detailed below).
Step 2: Action Types
Choose an Action Type to update specific event fields. The Action Type determines which event setting will be affected by the mass update. Only one attribute or feature can be updated at a time. In this example, select Update Membership Fields.
Reminder: Update Membership Fields modifies fields on an event’s Event Setup tab, controlling attributes at the membership level. See more information and visual examples in the overview article here.
Step 3: Fields to be Updated
Step 3A: Select a Method for Updating Event Setup Rules
There are two update methods:
Method 1 - Copy from Current Membership Rules:
Copy membership rules from one membership in a selected event to another.
Copy Event Settings From: Choose a membership as the template.
Copy Membership Rules To: Select which memberships will be updated.
Method 2 - Manual Update:
Manually update specific settings and fields for selected memberships.
Update Membership Rules To: Select memberships to update. In the next step, choose the specific fields and inputs to update.
Step 3B: Select which Fields will be Updated in these Events:
Fields can be updated in two ways:
All Fields: Updates all available fields for the selected events.
Specific Fields: Allows selection of individual fields to update while leaving others unchanged.
How Selecting "All Fields" or "Specific Fields" Interact Based on the Chosen Method:
When Using Method 1 - Copy From Current Membership Rules:
Using this method, choose a specific membership (in the example above it is the "Gold Family") as the template to copy across to the destination memberships (in the example above destination memberships are the "Bronze Level", "Couple", and "Free Player").
Select which Fields will be Updated in these Events:
All Fields: All settings from "Gold Family" will be copied exactly to memberships "Bronze Level", "Couple", "Free Player" within the selected events.
💡Tip: This method is ideal for applying consistent settings across multiple memberships, such as adding Network Memberships based on an existing membership template.Specific Fields: Only selected fields from "Gold Family" will be copied to "Bronze Level", "Couple", and "Free Player" memberships.
💡Tip: This method is used when specific attributes need to be updated while preserving other unique settings.
When Using Method 2 - Manual Update :
Using this method, the selected membership will be updated in the chosen events based on the fields you specify.
Select which Fields will be Updated in these Events:
All Fields: All selected memberships will be updated with the chosen settings. Fields left unchecked will be disabled or reset accordingly.
Note: Pricing fields must contain a value. If an event is intended to be free, enter $0.00 rather than leaving the pricing blank.
💡Tip: This is a good tool when updating multiple memberships and all their fields will be the same.
Specific Fields: This option allows selective updating of event attributes while keeping others unchanged. Check the columns you want to update and manually update as desired. Fields left blank will overwrite existing values, so disable a column if the intent is to retain the original values.
Example Use Cases:
Enabling "Is Public" for all memberships across multiple events.
Adjusting "Show Registrants" settings in bulk.
Updating pricing (Full Price or Drop-in Pricing) across selected memberships.
Important Considerations for Pricing:
Pricing updates apply to each event individually.
If an event does not support drop-in registration, updates/inputs to Drop-in Price will not apply.
If an event only supports single-date registration, updates/inputs to Full Price will not affect that event.
Step 4: Finally, select which Events to Update
Choose events from the Filter Events table.
The table includes Event ID, Category, Session, Event Name, Dates, Next Occurrence, Time, and Instructors.
Use the checkboxes in the last column to select events.
Step 5: Confirm your Changes
Click Mass Update Events to proceed.
A confirmation window will display a summary of the changes, including:
Selected Action Type: Displays the type of update being applied.
Update Method: Indicates whether the update is using the Copy from Current Membership Rules method or Manual Update method.
