Bulk Survey Actions

Select multiple surveys to convert them to signs or delete them, and track bulk operations on the Operations page.

When you're working with a lot of surveys, you can act on several at once instead of opening each one. The surveys list supports bulk Convert to signs and Delete, with a record of every bulk run you can return to.

Selecting surveys

  1. Open the surveys list.
  2. Tick the checkboxes next to the surveys you want to act on.
  3. The bulk bar appears with the available actions.

Convert to signs

Choose Convert to signs to turn the selected surveys into sign records in one go.

Before anything is created, a plan-limit pre-check runs first. If converting the selected surveys would exceed the event's sign limit for your plan, the whole action is blocked with an upgrade prompt — and nothing is created. This prevents a partial conversion that leaves you over your limit.

When the conversion runs, progress is shown in a toast.

Each converted survey carries its photos and structured answers across, just like converting a single survey. See Converting a survey to a sign for the details of what gets copied.

Delete

Choose Delete to remove the selected surveys. Deleting is a soft delete — the surveys are retained for 30 days and can be restored. See Restoring deleted surveys.

The Operations page

A history of bulk operations lives on an Operations page, linked from organisation settings. From there you can:

  • Review past bulk runs and their results.
  • Retry failed items from a run.
  • Resume a run that was interrupted before it finished.

If a bulk convert or delete didn't fully complete — for example, you lost connection partway through — head to the Operations page to resume it rather than starting over.
