Key terms and concepts

Implications
When updating bulk information or enrolling students into units in bulk care must be taken to ensure that only the students who should be updated / enrolled appear in the initial list as errors from bulk updates need to be fixed manually one at a time and can't be undo in bulk. this function should be reserved for higher level staff.
