Using mass update with Service Desk interaction record lists
The mass update feature enables you to update the value of one or more fields in a list of records. The system provides a template form that displays the current field values and enables you to type or select a new value for the displayed fields. In compliance with the data policy of your organization (as recorded in the Data Policy form), the Mass Update template form does not display read-only fields in the records. The mass update option is available from both interaction and incident record lists.
When you perform a mass update operation, make sure that the value you type or select for a particular field is the value you want in all the records that you selected. When you update incident records, you must also update the incident activity data.
System Administrators can determine if a field is displayed in the Mass Update template form by directly editing the Data Policy record for the form. To remove a field from the Mass Update form, change the Usage Type column for the field to System. If a System Administrator wants to grant Template Mass Update permissions to other operators, the System Administrator must update the operator profile to include the Template Mass Update and Complex Mass Update capabilities.
