The Batch Process allows a change in settings for a group of selected items marked with a check-mark in the corresponding check-mark boxes. To use: select one or more items form the table of items being viewed and click on the 'Batch' Toolbar button. This will open a pop up window as shown below.

You can change one value or all values at one time.

How to Batch Process a group of items:

1. Select one or more items on the list by selecting the desired checkbox(es).
2. Click the 'Batch' Toolbar button.
3. Set one or more of the following values:

• To change the Language, select the desired language from the Set Language list box.
• To change the Access Levels, select the desired new access level from the Set Access Level list box.

• To change the Category, select a category. To leave the category unchanged, use the default value of 'Select'.
  • To copy the items to a different category, select the desired category from the category list box and check the Copy option. In this case, the original items are unchanged and the copies are assigned to the new category and, if selected, the new language, access level and tag.
    Note: Changes you have selected from language, access level and tag will be applied to the copies, not the original.
