About the Batch Editor

The Batch Editor performs the specified operation on all selected items (objects). To select items, you drag and drop (or copy and paste) them into the Batch Editor’s Object field. Or you can use the Bql Query Builder.

For example, if your installation has 150 points configured to go offnormal when a property exceeds a given limit, you could use the Batch Editor to change the limit on all objects at once. Otherwise, you would have to change the limit on each object’s property sheet individually.

The Batch Editor requires the ProgramService in your Services container. If you don’t have this service, copy it from the program palette.

To access the Batch Editor

Save and back up the station.

There is no undo. Should you make a mistake, it is always easier to reload a config.bog than to reconfigure the station.
Do one of the following:
- Double-click the ProgramService container in the nav tree (Config\Services\ProgramService), or
- Right-click ProgramService->Views->Batch Editor
