Bulk Edit Columns
Edit one or more column data for multiple records simultaneously
Overview
Labii's "Bulk Edit Columns" feature streamlines data management by allowing users to edit one or more column data for multiple records simultaneously, making it an efficient tool for updating certain column data. This functionality saves time and reduces the tediousness of editing individual records, enabling users to quickly update specific columns across numerous records with ease, and thereby increasing productivity and accuracy in data management.
You can only change records you have permission to edit. Administrators, if you can't edit certain records, ensure you have granted yourself edit permissions in the project settings.
How to Use

Select Records: Choose one or more records that you want to edit by clicking on checkbox. You can select multiple records by clicking on each record. You can also select all by clicking the checkbox in the title row.
Open the Bulk Operations Panel: After selecting the records, the bulk operations panel will appear in front of the list.
