Selecting multiple devices and point records in a station
database saves time. Group editing makes the same change to all the
selected points.
You are using Workbench and are connected to a station (Supervisor or remote controller station).- Access the manager (device or point).
- Use the standard Windows keyboard controls (Shift and Ctrl keys) to select
multiple devices or points.
The screen capture
shows four points ready to be edited at the same time. When you select
multiple points, only properties that can be group edited are available.
The others are dimmed.
- Make the change.
The change you make applies to all selected points. For
example, you could change the tuning policy associated with multiple
points at the same time rather than edit the tuning policy on each
point individually.
- To edit a single object even if multiple objects were originally
selected, select the single object and make your change.
Some properties that should be unique, such as address properties,
may still be available to group edit as the rule about dimming out
unavailable properties for group edit is not universally enforced.
When editing properties, verify that only the point(s) you intend
to edit is/are selected.
The change applies to only the specifically selected
objects.
- After making changes to all objects, click OK.
All changes apply to the objects.
