Batch Updates
Overview
- Batch Updates refer to the process of making simultaneous updates to multiple records.
- The Batch Update options vary per module.
- Where available, Batch Update is mostly listed under the Actions or Menu buttons.
Process
The process for using Batch Updates is:
- Select all the records that must be changed. Use Shift + left-click to select a continuous block, or Ctrl + left-click to select random entries.
- Click Actions (button) > Batch Update.
- Select an option from the dropdown list that mostly opens on the left but in some cases on the same place as the Batch Update function.
- Complete the required fields that appear once you select an option. These fields can require a selection from a dropdown list, a checkbox that is checked (true) or unchecked (false), or information that must be entered.
- Click the button that appears after the completed fields. This button is usually Update, Add or Remove.
- Confirm that you want to update the records.
