Select multiple work orders and update status or assignment across all of them in one step.
Bulk actions let you change many work orders at once instead of opening them one by one. FacilityLane supports two bulk actions: status update and assignment.
Bulk selection is available in the List and Table views. See Work Orders Overview for switching views.

Narrow the set with filters
Filter by status, priority, assignee, or due date, or search, so the visible list matches what you want to change.

Pick the new status
Select the status to apply — for example, moving a batch of Completed work orders to Verified after review. See Statuses and Priorities for status meanings.

Confirm
Confirm the change. Every selected work order gets the new status, and each change is logged in that work order’s activity feed.
Daily triage — filter to Open, select, and assign to the right teams in one pass
Verification — filter to Completed, review, and bulk-move to Verified
Coverage — when a technician is out, filter to their open work and bulk-reassign to a colleague or team
Cleanup — select stale duplicates and bulk-cancel them via status update
Bulk changes apply to every selected work order immediately and generate notifications for affected assignees. Double-check your selection count in the bulk action bar before confirming.
Filters and selection work together: filter first so “select all” grabs exactly the set you intend, rather than hand-picking rows from an unfiltered list.
