This article helps you understand how to apply similar values of file attribute details to multiple files.

Updated over a week ago

With Asite, you can apply similar values of file attributes to multiple files using the 'Bulk Apply' option when publishing new files or editing attributes of existing project files.

Below are the steps to apply attributes in bulk when publishing new files or editing attributes of existing project files:

1. Click the (bulk apply) icon at the top right.

On the 'Upload (with Attributes)' screen

On the 'Edit Attributes' screen

The bulk apply options appear under each column header.

2. To apply values in bulk for a specific field (such as 'Doc Ref'):

  • In the 'Bulk Apply section:

    • go to the required column header

    • enter your desired value

    • click the (down arrow) icon next to that column header

3. To remove values in bulk for a specific field:

  • In the 'Bulk Apply section:

    • go to the required column header

    • leave the value blank

    • click the (down arrow) icon next to that column header

4. To apply values in bulk for multiple columns simultaneously:

  • In the 'Bulk Apply section:

    • go to each required column header one by one

    • enter the needed values for each column

    • click the 'Apply to All' option at the top left

5. To remove values in bulk from multiple columns simultaneously:

  • In the 'Bulk Apply section:

    • go to each required column header one by one

    • leave the values blank

    • click the 'Apply to All' option at the top left

Remember, applying values in bulk does not overwrite any existing values in the selected files. Remove those existing values and then apply new values in bulk if needed.

Click the 'Reset' option at the top left whenever you need to reset the column header in the 'Bulk Apply' section and start again.

6. Once you are done entering or updating the attributes as needed, continue the steps to publish selected files or edit attributes of selected files.
