Making bulk edits ​

The bulk edit screen allows you to rapidly make changes to all items within the selected search result items.

Selecting items for bulk editing ​

To select items for bulk editing, see Selecting items for bulk editing.

When you have selected the items and opened them for editing, the bulk editing page appears.

The bulk property editor ​

Each attribute that can be edited in bulk is displayed on the Bulk property editor.

In the Bulk property editor:

  • Any attributes that have no current value show (not set).
  • Any attributes that have a single value across all selected items will display the value.
  • Any attributes that have more than one attribute across the selected items will show (multiple values).
  • Note fields allow you to Append or Replace values.

Single and multiple values in the bulk edit page

Notice in the following screenshot that the Component code displays a value?

This indicates that this value are shared by all the selected items.

In contrast, the remainder of the editable attributes all display (not set) or (multiple values), meaning that at least some of the items have different values.

Changing a value ​

To change a value for all selected items:

  1. For the given attribute, enter the new value (or select from the drop-down list).

A blue tick will appear in the box. The blue tick shows that when you hit the Save button, this particular value will be updated across all selected items.

  1. Make changes to any other attributes.
  2. Press Save.
  3. Now choose EDIT | Stop editing.

Example value change

If we take the above selection and mark all properties as being for sale, when we save the items will be marked as for sale.

Bulk edit example

What happens when you make a mistake ​

When you’ve updated a number of attributes, then realise you actually don’t want a change to any one of the attributes, you can ensure the attribute won’t be updated.

To ensure an attribute is not updated

  1. Untick the blue box to the left of the attribute. The attribute will not be updated when the attribute update box is unticked.

OR

To ensure all changes are discarded

  1. If you you want to discard a number of changes, press the REVERT button.

To change a list selection

  1. You can change the items being bulk edited simply by changing item selection in the Search results page beside the Bulk property editor.

Saving the update ​

To commit the bulk update to all selected records, press the Save button.

Photos are different

Almost all attributes are updated only when you press Save. Photos are different, however, as they are committed as soon as you upload them.

Panels and layouts ​

Just like update pages, the Bulk property editor is organised using panels and layouts. You can create a range of custom layouts to make it easier to perform specific tasks.

To use panels and layouts, see Working with panels.
