There may be times when bulk changes are required to lists. For example – amending the security classification of a particular information type, or if an 'Inactive Date' for multiple pages need to be applied. Making bulk changes is a much quicker way of applying changes to a large number of items within any list.
Please Note - Not all fields can be changed through this method. For example, items marked "pending" that are awaiting approval by the system administrator cannot be changed to "approved" in bulk.
From the 'Manage Pages' main screen, select the appropriate page type/ list type that you wish to make bulk changes to
Ensure that the custom view is set so that you can see the field/s which you wish to change in bulk. Alternatively use the drop downs in the columns to filter the information
From the ribbon menu bar select – "List" – "Quick Edit"
The screen will change to display much like a spreadsheet. Apply the changes that you wish to make to the fields, in much the same way as you would update fields in Excel
When you have made all desired changes, select "View" from the ribbon menu bar
The display screen reverts back to the functional page. The changes should now have been applied.
