Applying actions to multiple jobs

HelpMaster allows applying a single action to multiple jobs at the same time. This is a great time-saver when a common action applies to more than one job. Whenever HelpMaster displays a list of jobs, the user can select which jobs should have the action added, and upon the completion of the Action screen, the action will be applied to all of the jobs that were selected.

Some common bulk-action scenarios may include :

Re-assigning all of the jobs from one staff member to another. This is useful when a staff member goes on leave.

Closing multiple jobs. Good for when a common fix applies to many jobs

Adding a progress note to each job. Useful when a common note should be applied across jobs.
