• Change the Due Date for a group of task records
• Update a Department name for a group of account records

Considerations

• In order to apply a mass update, first create a View that includes all the records to be updated
• Because a Mass Update action overwrites field data, this action cannot be revoked
• The Recycle Bin option is not available for Mass Update actions

To apply a Mass Update:

1. Create a custom View that filters for the records you want
2. Click Settings > Data Management > Mass Update Data
3. Enter the following information:
   • Select an Object from the list
   • Select the View that contains the records you want to update
4. Choose a Field and specify the new Value

5. Optionally, click the [Preview Records] button to confirm that these are the records you want to affect.
6. Click the [Execute] button to apply the update to all the records in the view.
7. Click the [OK] field to confirm the action, or click [Cancel] to stop the update.
