For scenarios where pupil details need updating in bulk (eg setting certain fields for census returns), the Multi Edit function can be used.
This is located in Pupil List:
Once entering Multi Edit mode, fields displayed will become editable with 'Multi-choose' options appearing at the top of relevant columns.
These 'Multi-choose' options will allow the 'flood filling' of changes made to any pupil displayed (displayed pupils are controlled by the filter block). Changes can still be made to individual pupils by editing the field contain on the relevant pupil row.
To add / remove fields from display, select Display Options to see selected and available fields (eg 'Include in Census', Learner Funding and Monitoring Hours', 'Funded Hours' etc.)
Clicking save in Multi Edit will commit any changes made to the system.
Please note that once saved, edits cannot be reversed.
