Performing Tasks in Bulk

When you need to update properties or linkages across many assets at once, K provides a suite of bulk tools to help you work efficiently — without having to edit each item one by one.

K's bulk capabilities cover a range of use cases, from updating metadata across hundreds of assets, to mapping lineage relationships at scale, to pushing property changes down through an entire data hierarchy.

Access note: Bulk functions are generally restricted to Data Governance Managers, Data Managers, and K Admin users.

What it covers

Bulk Action

Update properties, link lists, or link warning notices across multiple assets at once — with the option to save and schedule recurring actions

Cascade Update

Push a property update down from a parent asset (e.g. a schema) to all its child tables and columns in one step

Bulk Edit via Excel Upload

Export an Excel template, make changes offline, and import them back — ideal when changes need stakeholder review before being applied

Bulk Lineage Mapper

Define rules to bulk-create lineage links between tables, columns, and dataset fields where automated lineage is not available
