Updating Matters in Bulk

Updating matters in-bulk saves you time when several matters need the same change.

You will likely want to make use of this feature if you have a large number of matters. Any access-level of Brightflag customers can bulk update matters.

To bulk update your matters:

1. Navigate to Menu > Matter Management > Search/Add Matters.
   
   
2. Use the filters to find the matters you would like to update. At least one filter must be set.
   
   
   
3. Click Search when you have set your filters.
   
   
4. Use the tick box beside each Matter Ref to select the matters to be updated. Alternatively, you can tick the box at the top left corner of this grid to select all open matters returned in your search. This is for just the current page, not all pages. However, you can switch between page numbers, and selected matters will remain selected.
   
   
5. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Closed matters can't be updated. If you would like to update a closed matter, you must open it first.
   
   
   
6. Click the green Update button on the right side of the result table.
   
   
   
7. Select the relevant matter property in the dropdown list and enter the new value(s). Listed below are matter properties you can choose from:
