This across-the-board update is especially helpful when multiple assignments are ending on the same day, statuses need to be updated, and/or messages need to be logged. Assignments can be updated, en masse, from the assignment search in Beyond™.

  2. Select the assignments from the search results that you want to update:
  3. Right click or select the search actions menu and choose Mass Update Assignments Option:
  4. A new window will open with the following fields you can update en mass:

    • Message Action - Type of message that will be logged on the assignment(s)

    • Expected End Date - Expected end date that the assignment(s) will receive
    • Customer DNA - Check this if the customer does not want the employee to work for them in the future
  5. Once all of the information has been added that will be updated, select 'Next':
  6. The assignments will then be updated with green checkmarks to show your changes have been made: 
  7. Click 'Done' and navigate to one of the updated assignments to see the information changed along with a message (if chosen to be added) to see all of the information that has been updated:


In the event that you need to navigate away from this process before submitting the changes, you have the option to save your progress as a draft to be continued at a later time. 

To do this, click on 'Save as Draft' at the bottom left corner of the window. You will then see the draft is saved at the top left corner of the Activity Panel. Once back within the saved draft, you will have the added options of updating or deleting the draft:

Remember that drafts will not persist after you have refreshed or closed your browser window.
