Query and bulk operations (Actions tab)
The Bulk Operations Actions tab is available in the Query Builder and
during multiselect operations.
On the Actions tab, you can:
- Delete Objects
- Deletes each selected object only if it meets the deletion requirements.
For example, if you selected choice lists that were assigned to a property
template, the system generates an error and does not delete the disqualified
choice lists.
- Add to Export Manifest
- Select this check box to add the results of the query to the export Manifest. This check box is hidden during multiselect operations using the multiselect menu.
- Index for Content Search
- Select this check box to include indexing for objects returned from searches and for multiselect operations. For multiselect operations, if none of the objects selected is a Document, Annotation, Folder, Custom Object, or Class Definition, the check box is disabled. Each of the objects processed is added to a single Index Job that is saved at the end of processing.
- Undo Checkout
- If a selected object is checked out, this option cancels the checkout. This
applies only to versionable objects. If you attempt to apply this option to
non-versionable objects or if the operation was unsuccessful, the system generates
an error.
- Lifecycle Actions
- These options enable you to choose lifecycle operations to perform on the
selected versionable objects. A selected option enables the specified action.
A cleared check box disables it. The following paragraphs describe each of
these actions:
- Set Exception Places the object lifecycle into an exception
state. The object cannot be promoted or demoted when in this state.
- Clear Exception Clears the lifecycle object from an exception
state.
- Promote Promotes the object to the next stage in its lifecycle.
This depends on how your configured the lifecycle of the selected object.
- Demote Demotes the object to the previous stage in its
lifecycle. This depends on how your configured the lifecycle of the selected
object.
- Reset Resets the lifecycle state of an object to its original
state.
NOTE The
Lifecycle Actions apply only to objects that support lifecycles. Selecting
them for objects that do not support lifecycles generates an error.
- File in Folder
- Adds selected containable objects (documents, custom objects, and folders)
to the folder specified. This action does not add new objects to storage on
the Content Engine. It simply adds a reference to the existing objects to
the folder specified.
NOTE This
action applies only to objects stored in folders or containers. If you attempt
to file non-containable objects, Content Engine generates an error.
- Unfile From Folder
- Removes the reference to selected containable objects (documents, custom
objects, and folders) from the folder specified. This action does not delete
objects from storage on the Content Engine.
To locate the folder, select one of the following options:
- Type in the path to the folder.
- Click Browse, navigate to the folder, and
click OK to use the selected folder.
