Click a record to open the record. You make updates to the record and save, and then you interact with another record.

When you have changes that you want to apply to multiple records, you can bulk modify data for 2 or more records.

You can use the filters and keywords in the Default Report taskbar when searching for and selecting records for bulk modification.

You can both modify and delete records in bulk.

You must be in a report view of records to use the bulk modify and delete features.

To bulk modify records:
