Find and Update

You can update fields and values for multiple jobs and/or folders in a current workspace by using the Find and Update feature in the Planning domain. Multiple fields can be modified simultaneously.

After finding matching jobs and/or folders, update jobs and/or folders with the updated criteria by assigning values, functions, replacing substrings and expressions. Jobs and/or folders are updated in the order that the criteria is defined in the Update matching jobs according to the following criteria area. If you want to change the priority, select the criteria and click or . For more information about updating jobs and folders, see Updating jobs and/or folders.

When updating a job and/or folder, if one criterion is not met, it is skipped and the next criterion is evaluated. However, if an update criterion is invalid (for example, if the specified change is not supported) the job is not updated for any of the other criteria and the update process skips to the next job. In the list of results, the job's status is failed.

NOTE: When updating from a regular folder to a SMART folder, the Rule Based Calendar and Excluded Rule Based Calendar is defined as All Days. For more information about scheduling jobs and folders, see Scheduling a job/folder.

• View the updated folder or job in the Workspace by selecting Select in View in the Results area.
• Correct any validation errors, by double clicking the updated folder or job in the Results area. You can then make any changes to the job or folder.
• Rollback any updates by selecting the folder or job and click Rollback Updates.
