Bulk Edit Activity/Event Deadlines allows the user to view, create, and edit multiple deadlines at once on the same page. Only the Start date and End date of the deadlines can be edited on this page. Changes to the Name, code, description, and making the deadline active/inactive can be done by clicking on the deadline.
This page can be accessed by clicking on the 'Meeting Times' link on the Activity Dashboard.
This page displays a list of available deadlines. If the parent deadline is inactive, the deadline is not included in the list.
1. Deadlines that are inactive or have not been created for the activity or event are crossed out. When you are trying to add meeting times to a new activity you would have a list of all your deadlines crossed out, unless your site configurations allow meeting times to be mapped over.
2. Click open the Deadlines and add the Start date and End date and Save the page. Deadlines that are active, and open are highlighted green.
3. Deadlines that are active, but have either dates in the past or in the future are highlighted in pink/red.
4. The open/close column can also be be used to quickly update the start and end dates for the current and the past deadlines without changing the dates manually. For example in the screen shot above Activity Reporting Deadline is a current deadline and the Reviewer Date Range is a past deadline. The date when I took the screen shots are 12/3/2018.
- To make the past deadline current, check the open/close box. The result is the start date is set to 1 day before the current date, and the end date is set to 30 days after the current date.
- To close the current deadline, uncheck the open/close box. The result is the start date is set to 30 days before the current date, and the end date is set to 1 day before the current date.
The bulk edit page includes a link to the meeting time/deadline listing page.
This allows the user to view, create and edit session meeting times and custom deadlines that are not included on the bulk edit page.
