Mass Update Participant Status

[jenred]

Hello,

Is there a way to mass update the participant status for a particularly event via the gui when using CiviEvent?

For example, I have 50 registered attendees and I want to change them all to "Attended." in one fell swoop.

Thanks,
Jennifer

You can do this using the "Batch Update via Profile" action. Check:

http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/search?force=1

and then select Batch Update via Profile and choose Participant Profile. You'll can use the copy feature (the graphic in the header) to copy the value in the first row to the other rows

tried it on the sandbox i get the following message:

The participant(s) selected for Batch Update do not have corresponding profiles. Please make sure that Participant has a profile and try again.

You need to create a new profile with only "Participant" fields (the ones that you intend to update) before Batch Update.
 
Hope that helps!
