Use this feature to modify multiple CRs simultaneously.
You can run a report showing the CRs you want to modify, and then
perform a group modification, rather than modifying each CR individually.
Bulk modifications are shown in the CR log, and fire triggers if set
up to do so. They are also subject to existing security constraints.
After a bulk modification is complete, you see a summary of the changes
made and cases where attributes were not be modified.
Procedure
- Run a report that includes the attributes in the CR that
you want to modify.
The resulting intermediate report
page lists the CRs with check boxes. Use one of the following procedures
listed. When performing a bulk operation, do not use paging because
you cannot select items from more than one page.
- Select the CRs to modify.
You are required
to modify all attributes in a dependency chain to maintain consistency.
For example, to modify the Operating System attribute, you must modify
the Hardware and OS Version attributes.
In the Select list
box, click the state of the CRs to be modified.
OR
In
the Select list box, click None,

values.

CRs.

modifications.
