Bulk editing

Bulk editing lets you modify many features at once, saving time when you need to make the same change across a group of facilities. Use bulk operations to copy or move facilities geographically, reassign fronts, edit labels, or assign features to operating lines.

Prerequisites​

  • You must have features in your project (see Features)
  • You must have the Project Edit Permission or higher

How to access bulk editing​

  1. Click apps in the toolbar

  2. Hover over Bulk Edit to see the available operations

    Bulk Edit submenu showing Copy Facilities, Move Facilities, Facility Fronts, Facility Labels, and Relationship Group Assignment options

The footbar opens in dual-mode: with 0 or 1 rows selected the panel acts as a per-feature editor, with 2+ rows selected it switches to a multi-select bulk-apply mode.

How to copy facilities​

  1. Click apps > Bulk Edit > Copy Facilities
  2. Select the features to copy from the footbar list or by clicking them on the map
  3. Drag the selected facilities to the destination location on the map
  4. Save the copy

Copied features retain all their attributes, explosives data, and shape geometry. The analysis search-zone faces are rebuilt at the new location so the copies analyze correctly without needing a manual refresh.

How to move facilities​

  1. Click apps > Bulk Edit > Move Facilities
  2. Select the features to move
  3. Drag the selected facilities to the destination location on the map
  4. Save the move
note

Moving rebuilds the search-zone faces at the new geometry, so subsequent analyses use the post-move shapes. The feature's attributes, explosives, and relationships are unchanged.

How to edit facility fronts in bulk​

  1. Click apps > Bulk Edit > Facility Fronts
  2. The footbar lists every facility with Segmented Facilities, No Segmentation Definitions, or shape layers as source filters
  3. Select features and click an edge on the map to assign the front, or click Reset to clear
  4. Save changes

The summary panel at the top of the footbar shows Assigned / Unassigned / N/A counts so you can see progress at a glance.

How to edit facility labels in bulk​

  1. Click apps > Bulk Edit > Facility Labels
  2. Select features in the footbar
  3. Adjust label offsets, leader-line visibility, or per-feature label text (including token substitutions such as {name}, {layer}, {att:CRITERIA:NAME})
  4. Save changes

How to assign features to relationship groups in bulk​

  1. Click apps > Bulk Edit > Relationship Group Assignment
  2. Select features in the footbar
  3. Choose which relationship group the selection belongs to using the cards in the right side. Then hit apply
  4. Save

Unsaved relationship group assignments will be in an italicized red

This menu was added in v0.20 alongside the Relationship Group Editor (Apps > Relationship Group Editor) which authors the Line × Line × Criteria matrix that drives auto-relationships from these assignments.
