Pausing Targets in Bulk (via CSV file)
The following procedure will instruct you about how to edit the status of your targets by using the CSV downloaded template from Perpetua on a goal level (not on an account level).
Access the SP, or SB goal, and navigate to the "Targets" tab within it (1). Click on the "Bulk Actions" icon (2) and Download the CSV Template (3)
On the file, edit the "Status" column from the CSV file you downloaded (column B) and edit the target status belonging to this goal by entering the "PAUSED" value in the respective rows.
After completing all the necessary edits, save the file in CSV format and upload it to Perpetua. To do this, log back into your Perpetua account and return to the same goal deep-dive dashboard where you initially downloaded the file.
Go to the "Targets" tab (1) and click on the "Bulk Actions" icon (2). This time, select the "Upload Bulk Changes" option (3).
The upload will initiate and the edits will reflect on the goal level at the time the notification will show up on the top-right corner of the goal Dashboard.
