Inventory Bulk Update Grid example

The Inventory Bulk Update screen allows updating multiple pieces of Equipment at once. Existing User Defined Field values will be deleted and the process will run in the background, you will receive a message when it finishes updating the Equipment. You may update Equipment by selecting them in the grid and clicking the "Bulk Update Selected" button or if you want to Bulk Update all Equipment in the grid click the "Bulk Update All" button. This will process an update for every piece of Equipment in the grid.

Bulk Update Form

When a User attempts to perform a Bulk Update, PCR-360 will prompt the User to confirm the number of records they are going to update. PCR-360 will not complete the Bulk Update until the number entered by the User matches the number of records that will be updated.Bulk Updates using "Bulk Update Selected" are limited to 400 records, even though more records can be displayed on the screen. This is an unfortunate technical limitation within PCR-360. "Bulk Update All" does not suffer from this limitation. "Bulk Update All" will allow Users to update all records currently displayed in the grid and does not suffer from this limitation. Bulk Update Confirmation Dialogue Example
