Organizing and managing your art inventory is crucial for maximizing efficiency and productivity as an artist. One powerful tool that can help streamline your workflow is bulk updates. In this blog, we will explore the benefits and significance of using bulk updates in art inventory management, particularly with the help of SMART Manager's bulk update feature.
The Time-Saving Marvel: Bulk Update
Bulk update refers to the ability to make changes and updates to multiple artworks at once. Instead of manually editing and updating each individual artwork, bulk updates allow artists to save valuable time and effort. With just a few clicks, artists can make changes to multiple artworks simultaneously, improving their efficiency and workflow.
SMART Manager's bulk update feature takes this concept to the next level by providing a user-friendly interface and a range of functionalities that enhance the bulk update process. Artists can now easily manage their art inventory and make necessary updates with just a few simple steps.
The Benefits of Bulk Update
Bulk updates offer several advantages for efficient art inventory management:
Improved Accuracy and Consistency
By updating multiple artworks at once, artists can ensure consistent and accurate information across their entire inventory. Whether it's updating prices, titles, descriptions, or other details, bulk updates eliminate the risk of human error and ensure that all artworks reflect the artist's latest updates.
Streamlining of Repetitive Tasks and Processes
Bulk updates are particularly useful for managing repetitive tasks and processes. Instead of manually repeating the same changes for each artwork, artists can simply make those changes once and apply them to multiple artworks simultaneously. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for managing and updating art inventory.
Ability to Make Changes to Multiple Artworks at Once
Artists often need to make changes or updates to their entire inventory, such as updating the pricing for an upcoming exhibition or adding tags to artworks for better categorization. Bulk updates allow artists to efficiently make these changes across their entire inventory with ease. This flexibility and control make bulk updates an invaluable tool for art inventory management.

If you want to update multiple artworks at once, SMART Manager provides an Excel sheet template for bulk updates. Download the template and fill out the necessary fields for the artwork you wish to update. Make sure to refer back to your "Pieces" dashboard to find the SKU numbers for the artworks. Once the sheet is filled out, save the file and upload it into the "Artwork Info Upload Panel" in SMART Manager. Click "Update Pieces" to apply the changes to the selected artworks.
Remember to fill out all fields in the Excel sheet to ensure accurate and comprehensive updates for your art inventory. Leaving any field blank will result in missing information for that artwork.
