Using batch actions to perform bulk updates in the Small Groups module

It's sometimes the case that a User wants to 'bulk change' a selection of records or even all records. Batch actions is a feature that enables Users to do just that. Each module in ChurchSuite has its own 'batch action' functionality, with more batch actions planned for the future.

In this article we explore the batch actions currently available in the Small Groups module. See the related articles for batch actions available in the other modules.
