Bulk Downloading or Archiving allows you to download multiple files or folders from a Data Room to your personal device as a zip file or you can bulk download the entire Data Room.
Why Enable/Disable Bulk Download
Enabling Bulk Download allows the User to download multiple files and folders at a time. While this is easier for the User to save files to their personal device, it affects the precision of the stats collected by Analytics. Disabling Bulk Download for a User's Permission Group improves the precision when capturing which files and folders Users are accessing and downloading.
Who Can Bulk Download
Bulk Downloading is assigned at the Permission Group level. Permission Groups are saved with/without the ability to Bulk Download. Users assigned to a Permission Group with the Bulk Download ability can both download multiple files/folders and bulk download the entire Data Room.
