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 Filters — apply a filter to scope your assets, then open Bulk Action from the filter results toolbar.

Option 3) Via Lists — open a list and select assets, then open Bulk Action from the list toolbar.

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.

- Clear — delete all current values stored
