Important: When you select the Bulk Update option to save updates to multiple records, all saved records are permanently updated in your database. To reverse these updates, you must manually roll back changes to each record.

Field Description
Available Fields This list includes all fields that are available to update, including user-defined fields. Select the fields that you want to include in the bulk update. As you select the fields, they are moved to the Selected Fields list.
Selected Fields As you select fields in the Available Fields list, they are moved to the Selected Fields list. The order in which the fields are listed dictates their order in the grid. To change the display order, click and drag a field up or down in the list.

In the appropriate Value field, enter the value that you want updated. For example, to change the supervisor for a group of selected employee records, enter the supervisor's name in the Value field for Supervisor.

If a column is required, you cannot leave the corresponding Value field blank.

Save, Apply, or Schedule Click one of these buttons to update the records. The grid displays indicators on the columns where records were changed. The records are updated and the grid displays indicators on the columns where records were changed.
  • For an explicit save list view grid with fewer than 50 records being updated, the Apply option is displayed. The changes are applied to the grid and change indicators are displayed. You can then save or cancel.
  • For an implicit save list view grid with more than 50 records being updated, the Save option is displayed. A dialog box confirms the number of records to be updated and provides options for saving or scheduling the updates.
  • For updates to more than 250 records, the Schedule option is displayed. Click this option and then use the Schedule dialog box to specify the date and time on which the save process is completed.
If errors occur in the bulk update process, an error dialog box is displayed that lists the records, the respective field name, and the associated error message. To resolve the errors:
  1. Follow the error message instructions and manually fix the errors.
  2. Use the bulk update on the errors and run the bulk update process again.
