Create a Batch Global Edit Definition

Use this procedure to create a batch global edit definition.

To create a batch global edit definition:

  1. From the Tools tab, click Batch Global Edits.
  2. From the Display for list in the Batch Global Edits dialog box, select the table to which the batch global edit applies.
  3. Click New.
  4. From the Available Global Edits list, select the global edits to include in the batch definition, and click the right arrow button.
    You can select multiple global edits to include at once by Ctrl+clicking or Shift+clicking the desired global edits.
  5. If the global edit you want to include is not listed, click Global Edits to display the Global Edits dialog box, which you can use to create the appropriate global edit.
  6. In the Assigned Global Edits list, use the up and down arrow buttons to determine the order in which the global edits are to be executed.
  7. If you wish to share the batch definition with other users, click Access Control to display the Access Control dialog box.
  8. When you are finished defining the batch, click OK.

When a batch is applied, it is first reconciled to verify all referenced global edits exist. If missing global edits are detected, a message is displayed to let you decide if you want to continue to apply the batch or not. If you choose to continue, the batch is applied and the missing global edits are removed from the definition.
