Adding Members to a Group in Bulk
Use the bulk add-members modal instead of adding people one at a time.
When to use bulk add
If you're setting up a group for the first time or importing an existing roster, use the bulk add-members modal from the group's page rather than adding people one at a time.
How it works
Search and select multiple members at once, Sermfy adds them all to the group in a single action, each addition is recorded individually so removing one member later doesn't affect the others.
Bulk-adding doesn't check for duplicate membership across categories, a member can belong to a Cell Group and a Ministry group at the same time without conflict.
Removing members
Removing someone from a group is a per-member action from the group's member list, there's currently no bulk-remove, this is deliberate to avoid accidental mass removals.
