Batch Update in the Journal

The “Batch Update” feature allows you to quickly set the same attendance mark or grade for the entire section at once for a specific class.

Steps

1. Go to the “Journal” menu and use the filters to open the relevant online journal for the subject and section.
2. Locate the date of the required class in the journal.
3. Under the class date, click the “…” actions button to open the menu of available actions.
4. Select “Batch Update”.

5. Select which fields to apply the changes to.
   In the “Bulk Update” form, select one of the following options in the first “Select fields” field:
   - Empty — the change will be applied only to empty fields.
   - Filled — the change will be applied only to fields that already contain a value.
   - All — the change will be applied to all fields for students in the section.

6. In the second “Value” field, select the mark you want to set for the students.
   Depending on the type of data in the journal, this can be, for example, a grade or an attendance mark. The available mark also depends on the grading system selected for the class or section.

7. Save the changes.

The selected mark will be applied to students according to the selected “Empty / Filled / All” option.

For example: if you select “Empty” and the value “✓”, the mark will be added only for students whose gradebook cell for this lesson is still empty.
