Within the Workforce module, Oracle Planning provides several forms for performing mass updates. The specific form designed to update employee properties (e.g., status), job properties (e.g., title), or salary-related information (e.g., grade, rate) for multiple employees simultaneously is the "Synchronize Definitions" form. This tool is essential for administrators to efficiently manage changes across a large workforce, such as applying cost-of-living adjustments or reorganizing job roles. It directly modifies the core definitional data for selected employees or jobs.

A. Synchronize Defaults: This form applies changed default values from job settings to existing employees; it does not perform arbitrary mass updates of properties.

B. Process Updated Data: This form is used to run compensation calculations after data has been updated, not to perform the update itself.

C. Process Data and Synchronize Defaults: This is a composite action that runs calculations and synchronizes defaults, but it is not the primary form for mass property updates.
