1. Open **Shifts** in the App Launcher.
2. Click **Mass Shift Update**.
3. Select whether to update the status, assign shifts, or do both.
4. Define criteria that selects the shifts to update. You can specify dates, service territories, and job profiles.
5. If you’re updating the status, specify the current status and the new status.
6. Do one of the following:
    
    1. If you’re updating the assignee and status, click **Assign and Update Status**.
    2. If you’re updating the assignee, click **Assign**.
    3. If you’re updating the status, click **Update Status**.
    
    A background process starts that looks for shifts that match the criteria and takes the appropriate action. To learn if the process is completed, open the Shift Scheduling Operation record. The record shows how many shifts were considered, how many were successfully processed, and how many failed.
