The procedure described here allows you to edit one or more asset properties and have those edits apply to a group of assets. For example, an administrator could use it to change the Receive Email property to No in all the profiles in the system.
Add the assets you want to change to the Multi Edit tab.
Select the assets to which you want the changes to apply. (This step exists to make editing easier in cases where you are performing many batch edits, some of which you may not want to apply to all assets that you added to the tab.) To select all the assets in the tab, use the checkbox in the icon bar.
Click the Apply to All icon and select the group of properties that contains the properties you want to edit.
Note: If no property groups have been defined for your system, the message “No property groups exist for this type…” appears. For information on how to set up property groups, refer to the ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide.
Locate and edit the properties you want to change.
Edit the appropriate properties by clicking the Keep Existing Value field and selecting the new value.
Click Apply to All. The display changes to show the number of assets that were affected.
The Successful list shows any assets that were changed. A green checkmark also appears next to these assets in the left pane.
The Unsuccessful list shows assets that were not changed because one or more errors were encountered during the edit.
The No Change Needed list shows assets that were not changed because the property you edited was already set to the new value.
The Not Changed list shows assets that were not changed because the edit was interrupted when you initiated another task in the Business Control Center.
The left pane displays a red X next to assets in the Unsuccessful, No Changed Needed, or Not Changed.
To view an asset’s current property values, click its name in one of the Details pane status boxes. Information about why an asset was not changed also appears for assets from the Unsuccessful box.
Click Exit. The editing panel disappears.
You do not need to remove the assets from the Multi Edit tab before continuing with other activities in the Business Control Center. Be aware, however, that the assets will remain added to Multi Edit until you start a new activity through the Home page or log out. To remove assets from the tab, select them and click the Remove icon.
