Hello, 

I am coming across an issue with assigning the contacts in bulk to my team. My issue is, I am able to assign the company or the contact to a new owner in bulk but is there a way if I change the ownership of a company that all of the employees can also be updated to the new owner? 

Since I am working with thousands of contacts I would like to know a workaround if that is not possible.

Hi Jay, unfortunately, you would need to manually do this change as it won't automatically change the employees' owner even if you change the ownership of a company. I would definitely suggest voicing this as a feature request on our uservoice page so others who may be looking for this added functionality can upvote your request. Our Product Team takes into consideration posts/upvotes on this page when designing the product roadmap, I've linked both of these below:

It would be helpful to be able to reassign tasks/companies/contacts simultaneously so leads don't fall through the cracks.

It would also be helpful for Sales reps to be able to have "Away" settings– for example if a rep is on vacation it would be great to select an option to have all their leads automatically re-directed to another team member for a pre-determined amount of time, perhaps with the approval of the account manager...

Hello:

I've restricted so that the sales team can't re-assign an ownership of a contact or lead. Is there any way that I can add a support button, or a ticket or someway in which they can notify their sales manager for them to approve the change in ownership?

The idea in this is to have a better control as to when some sellers are taking old accounts and make sure that they are not being worked by the previous account manager. 

Currently they are notifying the manager via email but this makes the process slow and not efficient. 

Thank you.
