Bulk Operations
Selecting multiple positions and performing bulk edits in Scenario Directory
Bulk operations in Directory let you select multiple positions and apply changes simultaneously. Available in Scenario Directory only — not in Main Org Directory (view-only).
Selecting Positions
Single — Click a row to select it
Multiple — Check the checkboxes in the first column
All visible — Check the header checkbox — selects all rows matching current filters only (not hidden rows). Always filter to your intended subset before using Select All.
Range —
Shift+clickto select a range of rows
Bulk Edit Actions
After selecting positions, click Bulk Edit to apply changes:
Department, Location, Pay Grade, Manager, custom fields — Change the value for all selected positions simultaneously
Salary adjustments — Apply a flat amount or percentage increase to all selected positions
Close positions — Mark multiple positions as closed (RIF reason); tracked in the OpEx Panel as cost savings

A preview shows which positions will change and their old/new values — review before confirming.
Common Workflows
Move a team to a new manager — Filter by Manager = [old manager] > Select All > Bulk Edit > Manager > [new manager]
Apply merit increases by pay grade — Filter by Pay Grade = 10 > Select All > Bulk Edit > Salary > +3% > repeat for other grades
Close positions for RIF — Filter by department + criteria > select target positions > Bulk Close > RIF reason > verify cost impact in OpEx Panel
Relocate a remote team — Filter to Department + Location = Remote > Select All > Bulk Edit > Location > [office city]
Change Tracking
All bulk changes are tracked in the OpEx Panel — change type, old and new values, and timestamp. Review there after applying bulk edits to verify the expected impact.
Troubleshooting
No checkboxes / Bulk Edit button missing
Must be in Scenario Directory — Main Org Directory is view-only
Select All doesn't select everyone
Only selects visible (filtered) rows — clear filters to expand selection
Bulk edit applied wrong changes
Use Undo immediately, or restore from a scenario duplicate made before the operation
Changes not in OpEx Panel
Refresh the tracker panel; verify changes were applied by reviewing positions individually
