(v1) .Service Desk Bulk Update v2.1.4.7
- David Engblom
The Service Desk Bulk Update screen allows updating multiple Service Desk items at once. Existing User Defined Field values are deleted if the type is changed, and the process runs in the background as an Event. Admins receive a message when the Bulk Update finishes updating the items with a summary of those that are successful and those that fail.
Users may update Service Desk items by selecting them in the grid and clicking the Bulk Update Selected 
button, or click the Bulk Update All 
button if the Users wants to "Bulk Update All" items in the grid.
Note: Clicking Bulk Update All changes EVERY item in the grid. Most Users rarely use this option.
It is important to note that any attempt to Bulk Update records must follow the business rules of the application. For example, a Service Order cannot be set to an Estimate and an attempt to convert an Order to an Estimate with Bulk Update fails.
