Change the status for multiple objects

If you need to change several objects to the same status, you can simultaneously change their status.

About this task

Changing the status of multiple objects simultaneously requires the use of a bulk action.

To change the status for multiple objects:

Procedure

  1. Select the listed objects you want to change by clicking the checkbox beside the related topic title.
    The Bulk Actions basket appears as a ribbon that dynamically tallies the total number of objects you select.
    Note: You can have different types of objects in the Bulk Actions basket at the same time.
  2. From the Action dropdown list, select Change status.
    A Status dropdown list appears.
  3. From the Status dropdown list, select the status you want.
    Note: The objects that you select determine what statuses are available. A status appears in the list only if at least one object can move to that status.
  4. Optional: To see a list of the objects, expand the ribbon to see the full Bulk Actions basket. The State column indicates if the action you chose is possible on the related object.
    • Ready icon indicates the CCMS can process the object
    • Skippedicon indicates the CCMS cannot process the object, so skips it
  5. Click Continue.

Results

The objects change status, and the ribbon turns green.
Note: You can click New Action to perform another action on the same set of objects.

If any objects could not move to the status that you selected, the ribbon turns red.
