The ‘Bulk Update’ option enables users to update the details of multiple documents in bulk.


The following fields can be updated using this function:


Field

Description

Folder

Used to categorise documents within Equinox. This helps users search and filter for particular documents within the system, either when viewing documents on an individual case or searching documents across all cases using the Report Generator.

It is possible to customise the list of ‘Folders’ within your Equinox system. Please contact our support team for more information.

Date/Deadline

Unless edited, this field defaults to the date the document has been uploaded to the system.

Status

The ‘Status’ is used to generate system notifications for the user responsible for the document i.e. the user recorded in the ‘Attention of’ field.

There are three statuses that can be applied to a document:

 

  • Unread: The document needs to be reviewed. Users will receive notifications for any ‘Unread’ documents marked for their attention. 
  • Outstanding: The document requires an action/update. Users will receive notifications for any ‘Outstanding’ documents marked for their attention.
  • Complete: Used when a document no longer requires any action. No users will receive notifications about the document.

 

For more information on notifications please see the section on Document Notifications.

Attention of

Record the user responsible for the document. Users will receive a notification about any documents marked for their attention that have a status of ‘Unread’ or ‘Outstanding’. For more information about document notifications, please see the section on Document Navigation.
