Make the Same Edits to a Group of Applications

If you want to make the same edits to a group of applications, you can perform a batch edit. Batch editing allows you to add or update field values. You cannot delete values in fields while performing a batch edit. As shown in the image below, you have the same batch editing options on different grids in the APPLICATIONS area and the REVIEWS area of Unite.

Image shows field values within the Applications and Reviews areas that you can add or update which are, Applicant Program, Application Fees, Application Note, Application Status, LSAT Waiver, Scholarship, Transfer/Visitor.

Options for batch editing include adding and updating field values in the following sections on an application record:

  • Program

  • Fees

  • Application Notes

  • Application Status

  • Scholarships

  • Transfer/Visitor

You also have the option to add or update just the LSAT Waiver field and the LSAT Waiver Reason field in the Completion Status section on an application record. Once you submit a batch edit, you cannot quickly undo your changes. If you make a mistake, you may need to perform another batch edit to make corrections.
