Topic: Bulk editing of CI attributes in one step (or rather in one procedure)
There should be a possibility to edit the attributes of a bunch of CIs (of the same type) at once.
I have a possibility of implementation in mind, I would like to describe:
1)At first we use the advanced search to specify the CI-type (at least) and some more criteria (optional). The search result now shows CIs of the same type we want to be edited.
2)Now, we need a button to transfer all found CIs to the “attribute bulk editing screen”. In the bulk editing screen should be all attributes of the given CI-type, which are not defined as unique. At the lower end of the screen should be a list of all CIs transferred to the bulk editing. There should be a checkbox for every CI, which allows us to exclude some CIs from the bulk editing operation. (A recheck-all-button would be nice)
3)Now, we can edit one or more attributes. After clicking the save-button the edited attributes will be applied to the chosen CIs.
4)It would be nice to have a “are-you-sure?”-query before saving the new attributes, to prevent less intelligent people from doing something stupid.
