Adding attendees to an excursion in bulk

Use the Excursions Bulk Add/Delete window to:

  • add community members to the current excursion
  • delete community members from the current excursion.

You can add and delete multiple groups successively using different selection criteria.

Note:
If a person belongs to multiple constituencies that are all added to the event they are only added once. For example, a staff member who is also a past student is only added once.
