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.

As a first step, you would need to create a smart list to pull up all items owned by that user - this will have to be repeated for each type if item, like People, Companies, Projects, that you want to change. Select the items you want to change and go to Edit from the Daylite menu bar-->Bulk Edit:

​Edit button from top menu is opened, Bulk Edit 7 People is highlighted


Alternatively, the Bulk Edit command can be added to the Contextual Menu:

  1. Navigate to Daylite --> Settings --> Contextual menu
  2. Select the object, in this case, People
  3. Simply drag the Bulk Edit function from the Available Menu Items column to the Objects Menu column on the right.
  4. 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

In the window that opens, check the Owner box and select the new owner from the drop-down menu-->Apply:

​Bulk Edit window, Owner box is checked next to a drop-down menu​

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


Tip πŸ’‘

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.
