Overview

If you have multiple student accounts that need the same update applied, you can take advantage of the Bulk Actions capabilities to apply the same update to a set of students at once. 

The updates that are available through the Bulk Actions are:

1. Add or update a Category value: this can be used when you want to apply the same value to all selected students for that category. For example:
   • Essay Grade category: assign the same value (ex: Pass) to all selected students
   • High School category: assign the same High School value to all selected students
2. Add a Subject (Goal) to student accounts: students sign up to study specific subjects (math, English, or both) based on the registration link that they use. If they sign up to study one subject and need the other subject added, you can do that subject assignment via the Batch Update functionality.
3. Confirm Student Accounts: after creating their account, students must confirm their account by clicking a link in the email or text message they receive. If they don't receive or misplace

Accessing Bulk Actions Updates

1. Log into EdReady, then click the Manage Account button
2. Click on the Students tab
3. Select the checkbox in front of the students you want to update
4. Click the Bulk Actions button above the table
   
5. In the pop-up window, select the action you want to complete. See the section below for more details:
   • Add or Update Category Value
   • Add Subject
   • Confirm Account

Add or Update Category Value

1. 1. 6. Start with the "Accessing Bulk Actions Updates" instructions above, then in the pop-up window select the Add Category option from the Actions dropdown
      7. Then, select the Category you want to add or update from the next set of dropdowns. For example, if you want to update or add Essay Grades, select "Essay Grade"
      8. Finally, select the value you want applied to all the selected students
      9. Click the OK button

The value will be immediately applied to the student accounts, though you may have to refresh your browser to see it reflected in the table.

If any of the students previously had a different value for that category, it will be overridden by this update. For example, if you are applying an Essay Grade value of "Pass," any selected students who previously had a different value (ex: Incomplete) will have this new value override the previous value. 

Add Subject

You can use the Bulk Actions functionality to add a Subject (math or English) to students’ accounts. This is helpful for students that initially used the English-only registration link that now need to study math and vice-versa.

1. 1. 6. Start with the "Accessing Bulk Actions Updates" instructions above, then in the pop-up window select the Add Goal option from the Actions dropdown
      7. Click the Ok button
         
      8. On the next screen click the “+” button for any goal you want to add to these student accounts and you will see an on-screen confirmation message.

Note that you may not see the correct value in the ‘Selected Students Already Enrolled’ column, so please ignore the displayed number. If you choose to add a goal to a student that already is enrolled, the addition will be ignored for that student and no changes will be made.

Click the Students link in the breadcrumbs to return to the main student list.

Confirm Account

Students cannot log into Texas College Bridge until they have confirmed their account. They should receive an email or text message with a link that they need to click to confirm their account. If your students do not receive or have misplaced this message and are unable to log in because of an unconfirmed account, you can update those student accounts using the Bulk Actions functionality.

7. Click the Ok button

The value will be immediately applied to the student accounts, though you may have to refresh your browser to see it reflected in the table
