# How to Batch Update Application Statuses and Programs

### Before you begin (Prerequisites)

* **Permissions**: You must be an **Administrator**, **Supervisor**, **Manager**, **Support**, or **Account Rep**. See: [How to Manage Users and Permissions](/products/control-panel-overview/admin-overview/manage-roles-permissions.md).
* **Applications**: Multiple applications must exist in a reviewable state. See: [How to View Application Submissions and Stats](/products/control-panel-overview/applications-overview/view-application-stats.md).
* **Membership Program**: Know which program the applicants should be enrolled into. See: [How to Create a Membership Program](/products/control-panel-overview/membership-setup-overview/create-membership-program.md).

### Instructions

1. Navigate to [**ENGAGE > Survey & Forms > View Applicants**](https://control.peoplevine.com/survey/group/0/responses).
2. (Optional) Use the quick-filter buttons and filters to narrow the list to the applications you want to update.
3. Click **APPLY** to update the results.
4. Select the applications to update by checking the box next to each applicant's name.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
6. Configure the batch update:

| Field            | What to Select                                                            |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Enrolling In** | Select the membership program from the dropdown (e.g., "Gold Membership") |
| **Status**       | Select the new status to apply (e.g., "Approved", "Rejected")             |

7. Click **UPDATE SELECTED APPLICATIONS**.

### What Happens Next

* **On the system side**: All selected applications are updated to the chosen status. When approving, the system attempts to set up membership and billing for each selected applicant. Individual billing failures do not stop the batch — each applicant is processed separately. After the batch completes, check View Members to identify any applicants whose billing failed and resolve payment manually for each.
* **Next step**: Review individual enrollment results. See: [How to Process a Membership Application](/products/control-panel-overview/applications-overview/process-application.md).

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.peoplevine.com/products/control-panel-overview/applications-overview/batch-update-applications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
