Hello everyone! Currently, we are utilizing the MP2 Access 2000 version for our maintenance tasks. We have recently onboarded a new employee to handle our maintenance PM's. However, the tasks in our system are still assigned to a previous employee who is no longer with us. Is there a method to efficiently transfer all these tasks from the old employee to the new one in a batch, rather than having to manually reassign them one by one? Any advice or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kim.
There is currently no automated feature in MP2 for transferring tasks from one employee to another. However, a workaround could involve utilizing Microsoft Access to directly access the database and make the necessary changes. This method is more efficient for managing a high volume of tasks.
In List view, changing the "Assigned to" entry can be quickly accomplished with a few simple steps. First, navigate to the Tasks module and select the list view Tab. Then, position your Cursor in the "Assigned to" field and sort alphabetically. To change the Assignee, use the Lookup feature to select the new one and copy it to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl + C. Move to the next record using the Down arrow key and paste the new Assignee by pressing Ctrl + V. Repeat this process for multiple records to efficiently update them. This method allows you to update numerous entries within a short span of 10 to 15 minutes. For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to me at df@flemingtechnical.com or 678-777-9015.

Hey Kim, I had a similar issue not too long ago. Yes, there's a workaround for that. When you're in the task section of MP2 Access 2000, look for a function that says 'Bulk Reassign.' Once you find it, select all the tasks that need reassigning, choose the new person's ID, and execute a reassign. It requires administrator-level access, so double-check whether you've got that first. Let me know if this helps!
Hey Kim! It's great to see you're streamlining your process. I experienced a similar situation recently, and while it might seem daunting at first, MP2 does allow for batch updating to reassign work orders. Under the work order history in the control panel, you should have an option to "Change Assigned To" for multiple tasks. You can use this option to reassign all tasks belonging to your former employee to your new one. If the option isn't present, you may need to consult your system administrator to give the necessary permissions. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few steps - once you get it set up, it'll save you a lot of time in the long run. Best of luck!
