J-BusinessDirectory - Batch Proccessing

In the future I would love to see batch processing for changing both the state (not location, I'm referring to the status), and the Approval.  I'm envisioning something in the back-end such as checking multiple boxes found to the left of the Name then selecting a "state" button and/or an "approved" button (maybe next to the "Control Panel" button).  Or it could be in the front end.

We have a lot of businesses that won't renew online, so it is on the administrator to actually manage the businesses.  I just go directly to the database and make the changes (very dangerous), but the other admin isn't IT.

Also benificial would be the ability to set a default renewal date for all businesses (ex. July 1 each year). If someone signs up later in the year I need for them to expire on July 1 even if they sign up on January 1.  Again, I just go into the db.  A more user-friendly method would be appreciated.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for your suggestions.

We will take this into consideration for the next versions.

And here, six years later, I still don't see batch approval....unless I missed it? 

Hi,

The batch processing is present in the main sections.
On the toolbars, you should be able to see a Batch button.

Yes, I see it - in the standard Joomla 'batch' position. A little non-intuitive but it fixed two things that seriously needed fixing. Thanks George.
