# Bulk Actions Toolbar

Select multiple submissions to:
- Export to CSV 
- Update status in bulk
- Assign to users
- Apply labels 

On the **{{icon:paper-clip size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Submissions** page, the **Bulk Actions Toolbar** is located at the bottom of the Control Panel, below the search bar and **{{icon:document-duplicate size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Forms** quick-filter. On the left end is a checkbox that allows you to **select all** submissions displayed on your page. If no submissions are selected, the right end will say *select submission(s) to access bulk actions.*

When at least one submission's checkbox is selected, one or two badges appear on the left end. The first displays the number selected on the current page, the second badge displays the total selected across all pages. Click the **X** beside this badge, or uncheck the checkbox beside them, if you'd like to deselect them all at once. The right end of the toolbar displays the two bulk action buttons: **Labels** and **Actions**.

## **{{icon:bolt size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Actions** 
  Use **Actions** in the **Bulk Actions Toolbar** if you have multiple submissions pending your action and would like the same action to apply to all of them simultaneously. 
  
  When **Actions** is selected, a **Bulk Actions** modal appears with a dropdown labeled **Select Action**. Depending on the submissions you select, the common actions available for those submissions will appear in the dropdown. If the action you're looking for is not displayed, it's because at least one of your selected submissions is not eligible for that action. 
  
  Once you have chosen an action, it will appear in the dropdown. Any further steps (such as providing a note) will be presented for your completion prior to submitting. The number of submissions the action will apply to is reflected in the blue button you select to proceed (e.g., **Apply to # Submissions**). Click **Cancel** or the **X** to exit the modal without taking the action.
  
## **{{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Labels** 
  Create a custom, reusable label to apply to any submission as an additional tool for organizing and tracking your submissions. This is useful when you'd like to associate particular submissions, even those from different forms. Multiple labels can be applied to a submission. 
  
  ### Add a Label
  When **{{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}}Labels** is selected from the Bulk Actions Toolbar, a modal appears titled **Manage Labels for (#) Submissions**, along with a search bar that says *Search or create label...* 
   - **To add an existing label** - click the checkbox beside its name (listed alphabetically) or use the search bar to locate it. 
   - **To create a new label** - type the name in the search bar and a **+ Create "[label name]"** link will appear below. Select this to create the new label. 
   
   The checkbox for your active label or labels will appear selected. Deselecting any label name will remove it from all selected submissions. If you have created or applied a new label, a banner below announces "Label '[label name]' applied to [#] submissions." 
  
### **Remove or Delete a Label** 

  **To remove a label from a single submission** - Locate and click the {{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} that is in that submission's header beside the label's name. In the **Labels** modal that appears, deselect the label and click out of the modal or click the **X**.
  
  **To remove a label from multiple submissions** - Select submissions by clicking the checkbox in the submission's header, then the **{{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Labels** button in the **Bulk Actions Toolbar**. All labels that are already applied to those submissions will appear below the search bar with their checkboxes preselected. Deselect any label you wish to remove. Click **Done**, the **X**, or click outside of the modal to exit the **Manage Labels** modal. 
  
  **To delete a label** - Click the {{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} icon in a submission's header. A scrollable list of existing labels appear in the **Labels** modal with a {{icon:trash size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} (trash) icon to their right. Click the icon to delete that label. A pop-up window will appear that says:
  >*Delete label '(label name)'? This will remove it from all submissions.* 
  
  Click **OK** to delete or **Cancel** to exit without deleting. This cannot be undone.
  
  *Note - When accessing labels from an individual submission's {{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} icon in its header, deselecting (or removing) a label will only apply to that submission, even if multiple submissions have their checkboxes selected. Removing or adding a label to multiple submissions at once must be done from the **{{icon:tag size-4 inline-block align-text-center}} Labels** button in the Bulk Actions Toolbar. However, deleting a label always applies to all submissions with that label. *
