8 Mass update

Overview

Sometimes you may want to change some attribute for a number of items at once. Instead of opening each individual item for editing, you may use the mass update function for that.

Using mass update

To mass-update some items, do the following:

• Mark the checkboxes of the items to update in the list

• Click on Mass update below the list

• Navigate to the tab with required attributes (Item or Preprocessing)

• Mark the checkboxes of the attributes to update

• Enter new values for the attributes

The Applications option allows to:

• Add - add new or existing applications to the items by specifying application name

• Replace - replace existing applications of the items with the one(s) specified in this field

• Remove - only remove specified applications from the items

The field for specifying applications is auto-complete - starting to type in it offers a dropdown of matching applications. If the application is new, it also appears in the dropdown and it is indicated by (new) after the string. Just scroll down to select.

When done, click on Update.
