I. Feature Overview

This feature builds upon the Bulk Add Records functionality, combined with form settings for status update rules, to achieve the effect of updating statuses in bulk.

Super administrators or advanced members can use the Bulk Add Records feature in the mobile workbench. Without needing to scan codes one by one, they can add form records for a batch of QR codes. By utilizing the status auto-update rules set in the forms, the statuses of this batch of QR codes are updated in bulk.
