Bulk actions



Once shipments are bulk selected, you can take bulk actions for the selected shipments. This means you don’t have to make the same change in each shipment individually. Instead, with this functionality, all the shipments will be automatically updated with the change by just performing it once.



Go to Add tags on the sub-header below the search bar

Enter a tag in the Search or create tags field

If the tag you’ve input is already there, it will show up in the dropdown
If the tag you’ve input is new, click Create and then Confirm

To perform more changes for the selected shipments, click More actions

Select the action you want to perform from the dropdown menu

Click Confirm

Here’s the list of actions you can perform for bulk shipments

Add tags - Create and add tags to shipments to organize, filter, and sort them more efficiently

You can add up to 10 tags at once

Mark as delivered - Change the status of the selected shipments to “Delivered”

A flag icon will appear next to the status on the dashboard, indicating the shipment is manually marked as delivered

Mark as lost - Change the status of the selected shipment to “Exception (Shipment lost)”

Mark as returned - Change the status of the selected shipments to “Exception (Returned to sender)”

Update carrier - Update the carriers of only the pending shipments out of all the shipments selected

You can update carriers a maximum of 5 times per shipment

Delete - Delete the selected shipments from the shipment dashboard. The deleted shipments will no longer be tracked in reports

Progress report



Once the bulk action is completed, there will be a progress report showing the results of the actions performed.
