# How can I edit multiple users at once (Bulk Function)?

With the bulk function in the **“Users”** section, you can manage multiple users at the same time and assign settings collectively. This helps you save time and ensures consistent administration.

Go to **Users** in the top navigation bar.

There you can:

- Select one or multiple users using the checkboxes
- Use the action bar above the table to apply changes to all selected users

### ⚙️ What actions are available?

Depending on your permissions and activated modules, you can assign or update the following for multiple users at once:

- Team
- Department
- Location
- Invitations
- Questionnaires
- Allowance Policies
- Allowance Adjustments
- Working Hours
- Time Tracking Init
- QR Codes

 

### 🧭 How does it work?

1. Select the desired users via the checkboxes.
2. Click the action you want to apply (e.g., *Department* or *Working Hours*).
3. Configure the settings.
4. Save your changes.

The selected setting will then be applied to all chosen users.

 

### 💡 When is the bulk function especially useful?

- Onboarding multiple new users
- Organizational changes (e.g., new Department or Location)
- Assigning new Allowance Policies
- Sending multiple Invitations at once
- For one-time vacation adjustments – for example, when every employee receives one additional vacation day.
- Setting up Working Hours or Time Tracking Init for several users

 

Using the bulk function ensures efficient and consistent user management across your organization.
