How to bulk change the owner of objects in Daylite
You can change the ownership of objects belonging to a Daylite user by bulk editing the owner field of those items.

Alternatively, the Bulk Edit command can be added to the Contextual Menu:
- Navigate to Daylite --> Settings --> Contextual menu
- Select the object, in this case, People
- Simply drag the Bulk Edit function from the Available Menu Items column to the Objects Menu column on the right.

Once this is done, press and hold the Control key while you click the selected contacts to produce a drop-down menuβ>click Bulk Edit

The ownership of all those contacts will automatically be switched to the new person.

If you're changing the ownership because a user is leaving your company, please do so prior to deactivating them from Daylite, as searching for objects owned by an inactive user will not be possible.
