UPDATED IN VERSION 6.1
Through Bulk Action you can:
-
Update properties for multiple data assets
-
Easily link multiple data assets to a list
-
Easily link multiple data assets to a warning notice
Once a bulk action has been created, you can choose to save it and set a schedule to have it run on a regular basis.
-
For example: Set a bulk action to run monthly to automatically assign a specific data owner to newly created data assets for a domain.
Bulk Action is only available to Data Governance, Data Manager, and K Admin users, except for Add to List, which is available to all users
Accessing Bulk Action
You can access Bulk Action in three ways:
Option 1) Search Page — run a search and select assets from the results, then open Bulk Action from the toolbar.
Option 2) Via Saved Search — On the search page save your filter settings and then open Bulk Action from the Saved Search page.
Option 3) Via Lists — open a list and select assets, then open Bulk Action from the list toolbar.
How to complete a Bulk Action
-
Step 1) Open Bulk Action for the assets you want to update via Search, Filters, or Lists.
-
Step 2) Choose the attribute you want to update. You can select multiple attributes to update at the same time.
-
Step 3) Confirm the Scope of the bulk update. If multiple types of data assets have been selected, you can restrict the update to a specific asset type (e.g. Tables and Columns only).

-
Clear — delete all current values stored
-
Remove only — delete a specific value (e.g. remove one of several Stewards)
-
Replace — replace the current values with a new one
-
Add to existing — add additional values alongside existing ones
-
-
Step 5) Review the Action Settings — confirm the correct target has been selected, then choose to:
-
Run now
-
Save for future use
-
Schedule for a future run
-
-
Step 6) After clicking Save or Run, you will be taken to the Actions Centre where you can view saved and previously run actions.
