Once you have created a suspended purge type, you can set this purge type for many users at once via a bulk user action.
To set the suspended purge type, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Bulk user actions.
- Select the users for which you wish to set a suspended purge type (you may need to use the filters if you have a large number of users on your site).
- Click Add to selection.
- Select Set suspended purge type from the With selected users dropdown.
- Click Go.
- Select the suspended purge type you wish to set.
- Click Apply changes.
You can select multiple users at once using the CTRL ( or CMD) key on your keyboard.
Users can be filtered according to full name, surname, first name, email address, city/town, country, confirmed, first access, last access, last login, username, or authentication.
If you have set up custom profile fields, these will also be available from the Profile dropdown box.
