Add the ability to schedule bulk updates
Periodically we might need to update a large number of records. Like changing 10,000 item records to not display in PAC. When we have done that during the library hours it negatively impacts response time. What would be desired would be an option to schedule the update for after hours.

This would be very useful, since our staff already work long hours. Having to stay after the library closes to run this just adds more hours to their day.

We update 10k or more records fairly often. With remote employees, the person on the most western coast can drop these changes in the queue at the end of their day, which minimizes the impact for workers on Eastern Time.
But scheduling would be far better. For example, you could schedule large changes to run on weekends or even weekend nights, when staffing is minimal.
