Bulk Actions for Challenges

When you need to update multiple challenges at once, bulk actions save time. Instead of editing each challenge individually, you can select several and apply changes to all of them.

How to Select Multiple Challenges

Each row in the challenges table has a checkbox on the left side.

Selecting Individual Challenges

Click the checkbox next to each challenge you want to include. A checkmark appears to confirm selection.

Selecting All Visible Challenges

Click the checkbox in the table header (top left) to select all challenges currently visible on the page.

Note: This only selects challenges on the current page. If you have 100 challenges across 4 pages, selecting all on page 1 selects 25 challenges, not all 100.

Deselecting

  • Click a checked box to deselect that individual challenge

  • Click the header checkbox again to deselect all

  • Or click anywhere outside the selection to clear

The Bulk Actions Bar

When you have one or more challenges selected, a bulk actions bar appears. This bar shows:

  • How many challenges are selected ("5 challenges selected")

  • Available bulk actions as buttons

  • A way to clear the selection

Available Bulk Actions

Archive

Move selected challenges to the archive. Archived challenges:

  • Don't appear in the default view

  • Are preserved for historical record

  • Can be unarchived later

  • Don't affect your current metrics

Use for: Old challenges you don't need to see regularly but want to keep for records.

Delete

Permanently remove selected challenges.

Warning: Deletion is permanent. You'll see a confirmation dialog before challenges are deleted. Deleted challenges:

  • Are removed from all views

  • Remove associated ledger entries

  • Cannot be recovered

Use sparingly. Consider archiving instead of deleting.

When to Use Bulk Actions

Organizing historical data

If you imported many challenges and need to tag them all, bulk tagging is faster than editing each one.

Cleaning up old challenges

Archive all challenges from last year at once rather than one by one.

Applying consistent organization

Tag all challenges from a specific prop firm or all challenges of a certain type.

Preparing for analysis

Tag challenges you want to analyze together, then filter by that tag.

Limitations

Not all actions are bulk-enabled

Some actions require individual attention:

  • Updating status (depends on implementation)

  • Editing costs

  • Recording refunds

  • Converting to funded accounts

These actions have challenge-specific requirements that don't work well in bulk.

Mixed selections

If you select challenges in different states (some Active, some Failed), certain bulk actions may only apply to some of them. The system typically handles this gracefully, but check results after bulk operations.

Best Practices

Double-check before deleting

The confirmation dialog exists for a reason. Review your selection before confirming deletion.

Archive instead of delete

When in doubt, archive. You can always delete archived items later, but you can't recover deleted ones.

Use filters first

Before bulk selecting, use filters to show only the challenges you want to affect. Then "select all" picks exactly what you need.

Review after bulk actions

After a bulk operation, spot-check a few challenges to confirm the action applied correctly.
