Bulk Actions

Overview

Bulk actions save time when the same change applies to many devices, retiring a refresh wave, marking repair queue items as Maintenance, or cleaning up duplicate imports. Always filter first, then select, then confirm. Bulk delete is irreversible and may unlink asset tickets without deleting the tickets themselves.

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Filter the device list first

   Narrow to the batch you mean to change, e.g. Status = Maintenance and Type = Laptop for every Dell waiting on keyboard repairs after audit week.

2. 2

   Select devices with checkboxes

   Pick individual rows or use select-all on the current page. Filters apply before selection so you don't accidentally grab the whole fleet.

3. 3

   Choose Update Status or Delete

   Update Status sets Active, Inactive, or Maintenance for every selected device. Delete removes records permanently, use only for duplicates or data-entry mistakes.

4. 4

   Confirm the action

   WorkVerge shows how many devices will change. Review the count. Carlos double-checks when retiring a full Sales refresh wave (often 15–20 laptops).

Available actions

• Update status. Set Active, Inactive, or Maintenance for all selected devices. Carlos uses this after quarterly audit to Inactivate hardware sent to recycling.
• Delete. Remove selected devices from WorkVerge. Linked tickets stay but lose the device link. Use for duplicates or test records, not for normal retirement (prefer Inactive).
