Bulk Edit Submittals in a Package

Objective

To edit submittals in a submittal package in bulk. 

Background

If your project has a large number of submittals, you might want to occasionally make bulk edits to all or some of the submittals in a package. For example, if you want to associate all of the submittals in a package with a particular spec section or change the status of all the submittals at once, use the steps below. 

Note: To edit an individual submittal, see Edit a Submittal. 

Important! If you want to perform bulk editing actions on individual submittals that are NOT in the same Submittal Package, see Perform Bulk Actions on Submittals. 

Things to Consider

• Required User Permissions:
  • 'Admin' level users can bulk edit submittals
• Additional Information:
• • If you want to perform bulk editing actions on individual submittals that are NOT in the same submittal package, see Perform Bulk Actions on Submittals. ​​​​
  • If one or more of the selected submittals has already been submitted to reviewers for approval, the Submittal Workflow field will be greyed out and unavailable. You cannot bulk edit submittal workflows when one or more submittals have a workflow in progress. 
  • You can apply submittal workflow templates to the selected submittals in a package, as long as there is not a workflow already in progress for any submittals.
