Applying Bulk Updates to Objects

You can save time and errors by updating multiple objects simultaneously using the Data Maintenance wizard in ALIM Web. This wizard lets you choose which object to update, and what action to perform on the selected objects.

Note: In order to perform a bulk update to objects, the Data Administration plugin must be installed, and the user account must be granted Data Maintenance permissions, in AssetWise Director.
