Excluding Records from the Group Update

If there are records you want to exclude from a particular group update, you must exclude them before running the update. You can use two methods to exclude them:

• Manual Exclusion. Select the record(s) you want to exclude from the update, and click the Exclude button. To select the records, do one of the following:

  • Use Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click.

  • From the Special menu, select  Select All. You will then need to select the subset you do want to change and click Include.

  Note:

  If the CDS is very large relative to your system's resources and throughput, the response to invoking the Select All function can be slow.

  Note:

  Selecting multiple records in the CDS serves no other purpose than to include or exclude records. Any change you apply to a CDS applies to all included records, whether they are selected or not selected.

• Enter a Where clause in the Group Update window to specify records to include in the update, effectively excluding those records that do not meet the conditions of the Where clause. See Specifying Group Update Changes for further information.

Excluding a record changes its status to IG, for Ignore. To reinstate a record's candidate status, select it and click the Include button.
