Fountain allows you to bulk edit, delete, and clone stages with our Bulk Edit feature, so you can easily add a finished stage across all workflows if necessary.

Watch the following video for an overview of Bulk Editing:

What's Covered

When you enter the Openings page, the Bulk Edit Settings button is on the top right corner. Click on it to enter the stage dashboard. When you enter, you will see all the openings, their status, the progress of applicants, and the various stages.

You can then perform any edit, clone, or delete action to the stages present.

Use Case: Bookmarks

I want to perform a bulk clone on all the stages in San Francisco. However, I want to clone a stage from an opening in Germany. To do this quickly, I can bookmark the opening in Germany using the orange bookmark button to the right of the opening name.

Then, when I search San Francisco in the search bar using the location category, I get all of the San Francisco location openings, as well as the one German opening I can clone from.
