Bulk actions for additional data on the Search page

From version 20.8.0 with the appropriate role it is possible to edit (add, replace or delete) additional data of several compounds simultaneously. This feature can be found on Search page after you select one or more compounds. You can edit one field at once. These changes will be visible in the compound's history.

Bulk edit additional data

The following bulk edit actions are available:

• Bulk add additional data
• Bulk replace additional data
• Bulk delete additional data

{info} Only non-identifying attributes can be edited. The followings cannot be modified with bulk actions: Structure, CST, Read only fields, System fields (e.g. LnbRef)

Bulk add additional data

You can use this function to add a value to additional data fields. Both List and non-list additional data are supported, but you can only add to non-list additional data if it is empty, otherwise it is omitted.

1. Bulk add a new field value	2. Summary after bulk add a new value

After you choose a field you should enter a new value. When you click to 'Add value to all' then this value will be added to all of the selected compounds. At the end of the process you will see a summary page. Here you can see the numbers and the IDs of the modified compounds. There are 3 categories:

• Modified successfully: The new value has been added successfully.

• Skipped: The field was not empty (when multi-values are not allowed in the field config).

• Error occurred: e.g there is a validation rule for the given field. If the field should be e.g unique and you try to add a not unique value.

  Categories for not successful 'bulk add'

By clicking the 'Download report' button you can get a file which contains the compound IDs in every category (Successful, Skipped, Error occurred).

Bulk replace additional data

You can use this function to replace an existing additional data e.g correct a typo. You cannot replace an empty value, you can add a value with the help of 'bulk add' function. It is also not possible to replace an existing value to an empty one, you can do this with the help of 'bulk delete' function.

1. Bulk replace field value	2. Summary after bulk replace a field value

After you choose a field you should choose the original value and enter a new value. When you click to 'Replace all occurrences' then the original value will be replace for all compounds. At the end of the process you will see a summary page. Here you can see the numbers and the IDs of the modified compounds. There are 3 categories:

• Modified successfully: The value has been replaced successfully.

• Skipped: Some of the chosen compounds do not have the value that should be replaced.

• Error occurred: e.g there is a validation rule for the given field. If the field should be e.g unique and you try to replace to a not unique value.

  Categories for not successful 'bulk replace'

  By clicking the 'Download report' button you can get a file which contains the compound IDs in every category (Successful, Skipped, Error occurred).

Since version 21.3.0 when bulk editing fields that have unresolved dictionary values, the IDs in the edit list will appear in italics.

Replacing an unresolved value field
