Bulk Tools

Operations over many connections at once: raise the month's recharge cycles, change plan for a whole area, send reminders to everyone pending, or disconnect everyone N cycles behind. Each tool works on a filter (area, route, plan, provider, status) and reports what it did per connection.

Switch: Settings > Cable > Bulk Tools. Permission: Manage Connections, on an owner or admin seat.

Where it appears

Cable shell: Bulk Tools in Navigation (owner / admin only). The disconnect sweep is also reachable from Pending.

    T -->|Generate cycles| G[Raise a recharge for every connection whose paidTill is behind]
    T -->|Plan change| P[Move matching connections to a plan · effective date]
    T -->|Reminders| R[WhatsApp template to every pending subscriber]
    T -->|Disconnect sweep| D[Switch off connections N cycles behind

    T -->|Reconnect| RC[Turn matching connections back on]
    G --> X[(The cycles raised)]
    P --> Y[(New plan applied · change logged)]
    R --> Z[(Reminder marked as sent)]
    D & RC --> W[(Status changed · change logged)]
    X & Y & Z & W --> S[Result list: done · skipped · failed per row]

Every bulk action writes the same rows the single-connection screens do, so History shows it per connection.

Tools

Generate cycles - the monthly run; a connection several cycles behind gets one per cycle.
Plan change - tariff revision for an area or provider in one step, logged per connection.
Reminders - the Settings > Cable template with name, box, amount and period filled in; marks reminderSentOn.
Disconnect sweep - by cycles behind; boxes flagged never-disconnect on the subscriber profile are skipped.
Export - the filtered book to Excel.

Setting it up

flowchart LR
    A[Settings > Cable
Bulk Tools on] --> B[Pick a filter
area · plan · provider · status]
    B --> C[Generate this month’s cycles]
    C --> D[Send reminders to everyone pending]
    D --> E[Sweep the long-overdue into disconnection]
    E --> F[Result list: done · skipped · failed]

Switch it on, put the master behind it in place, then do the first one — in that order, or the first one will not have anything to pick.
