Perform Bulk Actions on Correspondence Items
Objective
To use the Bulk Actions menu in the Correspondence tool to perform bulk edits on a batch of correspondence items.
Background
You can perform bulk actions when you want to apply the same edits to more than one correspondence item in the Correspondence tool.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Correspondence tool.
Note
- Reach out to your Procore point of contact if you want for Private correspondence items to be hidden from users with 'Admin' level permissions at the company or project level, ensuring they will not have the ability to view or respond to private items unless they are specifically included on the correspondence item. (If your company is based in Australia or New Zealand, this additional level of privacy will be enabled by default).
- You can always see who has permissions to private items via the 'Permissions' tab when viewing a correspondence item.
OR
'Standard' level permission or higher on the project's Correspondence tool.
AND
You must be the creator of the correspondence or a user listed in the item's 'Assignee', 'Received From', or 'Distribution' fields. Additionally, users who belong to the same companies as the users listed on the correspondence item can also respond to private items if the General Correspondence type has the granular permission of 'Respond to Private Items Accessible to Users within Same Company' enabled.
