Edit Properties for Multiple Data Cards in a Card Deck

Edit file properties for multiple data cards at the same time as a quick way to update file meta-data.

1. Go to the home card.

2. Click the Edit button.

   Properties that cannot be edited are disabled.

3. Select the data cards in the data card list for which you want to edit property values. Alternatively, clear all selections to change values from the whole deck.

4. Locate the property you want to change.

   Use the tabs at the bottom of the values grid to navigate through all available properties.

5. Enter a new value in the property field.

   If the field has a value of VARIES, select a value from the list or enter a new one.

   OR

   Right-click on the field and select Revert from the context menu to undo any previous changes. Revert undoes changes made only since the file was checked out.

   Note: Changes to the property value affect all cards selected or the entire card deck if no cards are selected.

6. Click Apply to commit the changes.

   An asterisk (*) appears beside the name of the data card to indicate that it has been modified. However, the changes are not permanent until the file associated with the affected data cards is checked in.

   OR

   Click to dismiss all changes made during this editing session and return to read-only mode.
