Use a Value Collector to Edit Property Values for Multiple Data Cards

Use value collectors to change property values for files associated with data cards.

Note: The file associated with a data card must be checked out before editing any properties.

  1. Go to the home card.

    Click the Edit button.

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

  3. Click the ellipses next to the property value you want to change.

    The icon is only available for properties displaying a value of VARIES.

  4. On the Edit Value dialog, select a new value for the selected property from the Values list or enter a value in the Editing field.

    Note: Any changes made to a value affect all data cards using that property value. Refer to the Usage column for the number of data cards affected. If necessary, refine your data card selection using the steps described in the read-only section before continuing.

  5. Click Save to commit the changes and close the Edit Value dialog.

    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 data card is checked in.

    Click Cancel at any time to close the dialog and return to the home card without saving your changes.

Note: Changes made to property values are not permanent until the affected files are checked back into the vault. If you attempt to resize the data card or close the data card feature, you will be prompted to check in changed files first.
