    Hi Owen,

    Welcome to the community, and thanks for taking time to post this idea. I have heard something similar regarding the ability to do bulk updates, and I can definitely understand how it would, in some cases, help from an efficiency standpoint.

    That said, at this point, there are a couple reasons this is not on our near-term roadmap:

    - first, we simply have a fair number of higher-priority features we need to address (Email Merge, Custom Role Names, better handling of Dates, Letters of Recommendation, improved evaluator experience, etc.).

    - second, exposing batch import functionality is fairly challenging (mostly in terms of the error handling and prevention of mis-use), so if we decide to tackle this, we'll need to spend quite a bit of time on it.

    - third, to date, it's received a lot less attention from our user base thus far than a number of other features.

    It's definitely something we will keep in mind as we continue improving the platform. Just knowing it's something people might want can influence how we design certain aspects of the system, so that even if we can't do it immediately, we can make it easier to add later.

    Hopefully you'll see value in some of the other features we're working on in the meantime. Thanks again for the post,

    -chris

    Hi Kathryn,

    We used to list the Process Name for Follow-Ups and after getting some input, changed it to the Form Name for them in January. At the top of the page, you can use the Process Filter to look at the follow-ups for a particular process, so that's still available.

    Since there's not really any more room on this page, we're pretty limited on what we can do for the time being, but the current implementation at least enables people to see both the Form Name and the Process (using the filter).

    At some point, when we're able to get some more real estate for this page, we'll be able to display more information, which will be a boon for everyone :-)

    Thanks for the input,

    -chris

    Hi Erin,

    I'd agree on the "cool" factor ... but given other priorities, this suggestion is probably pretty low on the list. You did mention paging ... and while I'm not sure that for most evaluations that would be useful, I can see on some longer forms where it would be.

    Thanks for the followup details

    Hi Erin,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not exactly sure how you envision it working ... would it show more "progress" for each question they answer?

    One of the immediate challenges it that it wouldn't really be visible much on a longer form (given the number of questions), unless we had it kind of overlay the page, which some people find a bit annoying.

    If we move to more of a paging format ... where each form can be broken into pages ... it might be easier to implement. Most of the surveys I've used have been across multiple pages where the questions for each page display in a single window (with no scrolling) and that makes it a bit easier.

    I'll keep this in mind as we move forward, but it's definitely a longer term enhancement.

    Hi Mary and Stephanie,

    Thanks for the suggestion. When we implemented organization merge, it was something we considered. However, there are a lot of things being moved from the non-primary organization(s) to the primary one, and the general consensus was that there was limited value in spending more time trying to develop a log of the merge.

    As we get more input and people get more experience with doing merges, it's something we may revisit.

    Thanks,

    -chris
