Quick Answer
Administrators can change or remove the assessment expiration date for multiple users at once in Admin Home > Assignments > Assignment Management by using Bulk Modify Assessments, provided every selected user has the same assessment and the same assignment status.
What This Article Helps With
This article explains how to use the Bulk Modify Assessments feature in Pinnacle Series Assignment Management to change or remove assessment expiration dates for several users in a single action. Bulk Modify Assessments helps administrators keep assessment timelines consistent without editing each user's assessment assignment individually.
Requirements for Bulk Modify Assessments
The bulk Edit (pencil) icon in Assignment Management becomes active only when both of the following conditions are met:
- Same assessment: All selected users must be assigned the same assessment.
- Same assignment status: All selected users must share the same assignment status, for example Not Started.
If any selected user has a different assessment or a different assignment status, the Bulk Modify Edit icon remains inactive.
How to Bulk Modify Assessment Expiration Dates
- Open Admin Home.
- Select Assignments.
- Select Assignment Management.
- Use the filters or date range to locate the relevant assessments.
- Select two or more users who have the same assessment and the same assignment status.
- Confirm that the Edit icon is active in the toolbar.
- Select the Edit icon to open the Bulk Modify modal.
- Choose a data option: No Change, Change Expiration Date, or Remove Expiration Date.
- If you chose Change Expiration Date, select the new expiration date from the calendar.
- Review the changes listed on the summary screen.
- Select Finish & Save to apply the update to all selected users.
- Return to Assignment Management and confirm that the selected users now show the updated expiration date, or no expiration date if you chose Remove Expiration Date.
Helpful Tips
- To update users who have different assignment statuses, select and update each status group separately. Bulk Modify Assessments applies to one assessment and one assignment status at a time.
- We recommend filtering Assignment Management to a single assessment before selecting users, so that every user in the list already meets the same-assessment requirement.
