Bulk changes

Here you will find a brief explanation of the operation of pages that relate to editing (multiple) object data on one or more objects simultaneously.


Applying a bulk change action is broken down into 3 steps, selecting the files in question, 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 that you need 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 will 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 multiple 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 contents of the field in question everywhere or whether you want to find 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 done, you can click on the “check” button and you will go to the overview of all planned changes.


Step 3. Check / overview
As a check, the overview shows the number of descriptions or objects to which the bulk change action will be applied. 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. Once you are sure that everything is set up correctly, you can perform the bulk change action.


Undo a bulk change
Creating an incorrect bulk change action can have major consequences for your collection(s). If you make mistakes you can undo them.

How does it work
Click on 'Bulk History' in the menu on the left. You will see an overview of all bulk change actions that you or a colleague has performed. Click on the button behind the bulk change action that you want to reverse. Any changes made during this bulk change action will then be rolled back to the previous state.
