I have recently shifted my membership from from a Bundled level to an Individual level.  I have no members left in the bundled level and I'd like to delete the level but cannot do so - I think because there are some old lapsed members from the bundled level in the archive.  I'd love to be able to set the Archive column to "delete" and re-import and have them go away.

 Also, I need to send a blast email to 2,500 non-members to notify them of an upcoming event.  I would love to be able to import the list, send them a blast email and then delete them.  But without a delete tool I have to :

Export the archive to my computer for safe keeping.
Import the Blast Email list
Send the Blast Email
Re-import the blast email list with archive set to "yes"
delete the archive
Re-import the archive from my home computer. 

Any way to delete more that one record at a time would be appreciated.

Anyone else needs this? Please comment here.

I would still like to see it!

It would be really, really nice to be able to do the same thing to multiple contacts. For example, deleting/archiving multiple contacts, changing renewal dates, adding group participation, etc. It's actually quite silly we can't do this already. Anytime I have to change a lot of people's information, I have to repeat the task 50-100+ times because I have to do it individually.

We had a request about bulk-delete members - see http://www.wildapricot.com/forums/thread/10653.aspx. I will merge your post into that thread as it makes more sense from a broader perspective.

You have listed the following possible bulk operations:

- deleting contacts

- archiving contacts

- changing renewal dates

- changing group participation

I would appreciate ideas from others as well. 

BTW, for now one way to do this is via export/import (except for deleting)

Other ideas:

- Bulk change of membership level

- Bulk change of e-mail subscriptions

 

I would give my left pinky for some batch processing capabilities....I've got 32 new requests for memberships and have to do it one by one is crazy.  or some self enrollment would be cool too and I could go back in and confirm they were real by the answers they left etc.

 

I'll post my concerns in an independent thread as I did not find one when I searched.

 I'd rather to be able to change the membership level and approve membership applications for when things get lumpy.

I usually export to Excel to make my bulk changes then import.   That would also work for batches of new members.

I would love to bulk edit members. The biggest things I'd want to do:

 Delete/Archive

Approve Membership

Approve Payment

Change group participation

We would also very much like to be able to perform bulk operations such as delete
