Are there any utilities or tools for making bulk account owner edits? Within the WebUI I am only able to change the owner on an account one at a time. I would like to make bulk owner changes when employees change regions or leave the company.
This is available out of the box. If you go to Accounts grid there is an icon with a picture of a blue person and a green arrow. That icon lets you assign all selected records.
I'd recommend doing an advanced find to get all the Accounts owned by the departing user, do a select all and then click the Assign button in the toolbar (looks like a person with an arrow) to change the accounts to a different owner. That way you can reassign multiples at once. You have to use the Reassign button, just doing an edit on multiple records won't be allowed - the owner box is disabled, I think.
