Go to the Shipments dashboard in the AfterShip Tracking admin.
Select the tickbox for Showing 50 shipments to select all the 50 shipments displayed on the current shipment dashboard.
A maximum of 50 shipments are displayed on the shipment dashboard at a time.
Click Select all shipments to select all the shipments on every page of your AfterShip Tracking shipment dashboard.
You can also select shipments in bulk based on specific criteria by sorting and filtering shipments by status, carrier, origin, destination, tags, ship date, pickup date, source, issues, and more.
Once shipments are bulk-selected, you can take bulk actions for the selected shipments. This means you don’t have to make the same change in each shipment individually. Instead, with this functionality, all the shipments will be automatically updated with the change by just performing it once.
To perform bulk actions for the selected shipments, click More actions.
Select the action you want to perform from the dropdown menu.
Click Confirm.
You can also use Add tags to add shipment tags for organizing, filtering and sorting shipments efficiently.
Enter a tag in the Search or create tags field.
If the tag you’ve input is already there, it will show up in the dropdown.
If the tag you’ve input is new, click Create and then Confirm.
Here’s the list of actions you can perform for bulk shipments:
Add tags - Create and add tags to shipments.
You can add up to 10 tags at once.
