72.2.1.15 Batch Asset Modification

The Media Library provides a batch capability for modifying several multi-selected assets simultaneously, this by following the procedure below:
1.Select  all the assets intended to be modified together, use any of the following multi-selection methods:
Press and hold the [Ctrl] key and click on each asset intended to be included in the batch modification.
Click on a top asset, press the [Shift] key and then click on a bottom asset, all assets between the top and the bottom assets will be selected.
Use the "select all" option available on the right-click menu.
2.Open assets at the same time (e.g. right-click over the selected assets and select 'Open'):
Open
3.All the assets will be opened as if they were only one asset form. A [multi-selection] icon will be displayed at the top right of the form to indicate that a 'batch modification' is being performed. By clicking on this icon, it displayed a list of all selected assets:
Multi-selection

Note
Please note that if the selection includes a season episode (i.e. an asset forming part of a season) no batch modification will be allowed, this is because batch modifications to season should be performed using the Season Manager.
4.The open asset will allow to perform the following actions across all selected assets:

•Modify tabs: Modify the following tabs (and fields) which supports batch-processing:
