What is a Mass Update?
• Mass updates allow you to make changes to a group of accounts in one step.
• “One for all” creation or change• Updating or creating multiple entries, but each entry will be the
same. (same date, same contact method, same fund, etc.)• We cannot create new accounts with the mass update
feature.• Accounts you are creating items for OR the entries you are
updating will already have to exist in the database

Things to remember
• When updating existing items, entries that are marked Final will be unaffected by the update.
• If you wish to update journal entries that have been finalized, you must un-finalize them before you will be able to make other mass updates.
• If you choose to remove information, you will be removing a value from the account or journal entry, but you will not be able to remove the entire item from your database.

Things to remember
• Make sure your query is set up correctly with the appropriate data return type.
• If you’re updating existing journal entries, make sure your query’s data return type is set to journal entries.
• Review the change you are about to make carefully because there is no undo button.

Payroll Deductions - Set Up1. Create an approach called "“Employee Giving” or “Payroll Deduction”
• Use it to indicate which transactions are payroll deductions
2. Decide whether you’re going to enter them as Pledges or Recurring Gift Schedules
• We recommend Pledges if:• Employees designate an annual amount to be given as part of the Annual
Campaign• The payroll deduction has a start date, a stop date and a set amount• Employees agree to give on an annual basis
• We recommend Recurring Gift Schedules if:• Employees intends to give "forever" rather than for a year• No known stop date or set amount
![Page 25: Utilizing the Mass Update Functionality in eTapestry](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052316/55933dd41a28abca748b464c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Payroll Deductions - Set Up3. Be consistent when creating the Pledges/Recurring Gift Schedules
• Make sure they all get marked with the appropriate Approach (Employee Giving or Payroll Deduction)
• The Installment Dates and Frequencies should all be the same• When a new employee decides to make payroll deductions, add the
pledges/recurring gift schedules and use the same approach, scheduled date, and frequency as the other pledges/recurring gift schedules which are payroll deductions. For the first installment date, enter the date when the amount will be deducted from the employee's first paycheck.
4. Create a query based on the Approach criteria• Use Journal Entries as the Data Return Type
![Page 26: Utilizing the Mass Update Functionality in eTapestry](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052316/55933dd41a28abca748b464c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Payroll Deductions – Mass Update• When your organization receives the deposit for the payroll deductions
each pay period, apply the payments to employee pledges• Apply recurring gifts if you’re using Recurring Gift Schedules
• Run a Mass Update to add scheduled payments to the employee's journals
• Use the query that you created to identify payroll deductions • Use the pay period date as the pledge/recurring gift payment date
