Bulk changes

Here you will find a brief explanation of the operation of pages related to editing (multiple) object data on one or more objects at the same time.


Applying a bulk change action is split into 3 steps, selecting the affected files, setting the operation to be applied and checking and starting the action/operation.

Go to the "Bulk Changes" page in the menu on the left. At the top you will see three steps to follow.

Step 1. Selection
Using the advanced search function, you create a list of objects to which you want to apply a change. By setting filters you arrive at the objects on which you want to perform the bulk change action.


Step 2. Operation
Then click on “Operation” and select a specific field or several fields on which you want to perform an action. Behind the name of the chosen field you can select whether you want to replace the content of the field in question everywhere or look for a specific word or number and replace it with the new value. Each adjustment is added to a list of all desired changes at the bottom of the page. When you are ready, you can click on the “check” button and you will go to the overview of all planned changes.


Step 3. Control / overview
As a check, the overview shows the number of descriptions or objects that the bulk change action will be applied to. Below you can see which fields it is applied to, what type of change is applied to these fields (replace or find and replace) and which values are replaced. If you are sure that everything is set up correctly, you can perform the bulk change action.


Making an incorrect bulk change action can have major consequences for your collection(s). If you make mistakes, you can undo them via 'version management'.
