List Editing#

List editing is a function that enables the simultaneous and easy editing of multiple objects. Editing is performed per category.

Accessing List Editing#

You can find list editing under Extras → CMDB → List Editing.

Alternatively, you can access list editing by selecting the checkboxes of multiple objects within an object list and then using the Edit button.

Selecting Objects and Category to Edit#

If you access list editing via the Extras menu, you can select the objects to edit in the next step. Additionally, you can specify which category you want to edit. A filter can also be defined to restrict the displayed entries to a defined selection. For example, you can display only software assignments for a specific software.

Performing List Editing#

Once the objects and category have been selected, the list editing is loaded. You receive a list of objects including the properties of the selected category. Each row is assigned to a single object.

Changes within a row of an object only change the attribute of that object. Changes in the top row assign the same value to all objects for the selected attribute. These are applied as soon as you use the Save button.

The placeholder ##COUNT## enables automatic sequential numbering of records. It is also possible to start the numbering from a defined value and set the displayed leading zeros. Examples are available in the lower area of the list editing.

A counter shows you the number of changes made.
