.Bulk Update v2021.1

The Services Bulk Update screen allows updating multiple services 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 services.

You may update services 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 service in the grid.

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.
