Batch Edit
To modify a selection of events, select each event asset within the Search results panel by enabling the check option that appears before each asset and then selecting the Batch Edit tool menu option. This will populate the Batch Edit Asset Attributes panel. Up to 25 event assets may be batch edited using this method.
This panel is split with the options to add attributes on the left and the options to remove attributes on the right for each attribute.
Attributes can be added or removed by utilizing the options within each panel. Either a single attribute or a group of attributes can be modified at once. Select Modify to finalize your changes. Upon completion, all assets that were included in the batch should reflect the modifications.
