Bulk Changes to Roles in Agendas

I'm trying to clean up our agendas so I can get more concise information about member roles. To do this, I need to go into past agendas and standardize the way roles are named - because I didn't know about the use of asterisks (for example) to eliminate double counting.

Is there a way to access the underlying database so I can make bulk changes rather than modifying one agenda at a time? The one-line-at-a-time approach is excruciatingly slow.

Or is there a better (and faster) way to do this?

Make your changes in the Admin section to the agenda. That way when you add a new agenda, the changes will be there each time...

I've incorporated the changes into the template - it's the past data I want to clean up. Here's an example of what I'm trying to fix:

Toastmaster (CL 4, 5, 7, 8, 10)

Toastmaster Welcome and Introductions

Toastmaster Present Award(s)

Toastmaster Closes Meeting

By adding the asterisks before and after *Toastmaster*, I'll only see one instance of Toastmaster for each meeting. Right now I have as many as four. Yech! However, since the template does not retrofit, I'm looking for a faster way to scrub the data - if one exists.

Eventually, I'd like to get out of this role and I want to make sure this is an easy handoff to someone who's not a much a data geek as I am myself.

The only way to not see so many is to not add so many or to delete the extra... As far as what I am understanding of this right now you can fix it so that no one else can sign up for the duplicate role in the admin section.
