Fields and Operators that are supported for Mass Editing

In cases where you need to edit multiple records at a time, use the Mass Edit feature. This feature allows you to update the fields that appear in the results display of a search view page in multiple records at a time.

The table below displays the field types and operators that are supported for mass editing:

Field Type	Operators	Description
Main Assignee	Replace	The Replace operator replaces the Main Assignee in the selected records with the selected User and Role.
Assignees	Replace Add/Assign Unassign	The Replace operator deactivates the selected Current Assignee and adds the selected New Assignee as an Assignee on the selected records. If the selected Current Assignee is the Main Assignee, then the selected New Assignee will become a Assignee.
		The Add/Assign operator adds or assigns the selected user as an Assignee to the selected records. Selecting the Primary Assignee check-box will also designate the New Assignee as the main assignee on the selected records.
		The Unassign operator unassigns the selected user as an Assignee from the selected records. This operator will skip records where the selected Current Assignee is the Main Assignee.
Involved	Add New Set Existing Remove	The Add New operator adds the selected Contact in the selected Role as an Involved Party on the selected records.
		The Set Existing operator changes the Role of the selected Contact on the selected records. If the selected Contact is not an Involved Party on the selected records, no changes will be made.
		The Remove operator removes the selected Contact in the selected Role as an Involved Party on the selected records.

Note: Mass Edit does not allow for edits on locked records. For example, if an invoice is posted, it is considered a locked record and is not modified during a Mass Edit, even if "Allow edits to custom fields after posting” has been selected.
