Job Manager - All Jobs - Incorrect Bulk Update and Suggested Notification Process
Incorrect Bulk Update and Suggested Notification Process
Example Scenario:
On Job Manager, a staff member accidentally selected all active jobs and changed their status from “In Progress” to “Completed” using the bulk update feature.
Impact:
Over 150 jobs were marked as completed.
Workflow visibility was disrupted, and deadlines were missed because jobs disappeared from active lists.
Root Cause:
Bulk update permissions were too broad.
No audit trail or alert triggered when job states changed.
Recommended Controls:
Trigger Email Notifications for Job Status Changes/Setting up email alerts
Detecting incorrect bulk updates
Reverting changes quickly Options
Require confirmation before applying changes to more than X jobs.
Any bulk status change sends an email to the Job Manager or Admin team.
Include details: User who made the change, number of jobs affected, old status → new status.
