Editing Multiple Resources

You can select more than one resource to edit properties as a group. Use the Multiple Selections dialog to edit multiple resources. To view this dialog, select the resources you want to edit from the resource detail pane, right-click, and click Modify.

The following rules are applied when editing multiple resources:

• You cannot insert a new resource from the Multiple Selections dialog.
• Values are displayed if all the selected resources have the same entry or setting for that field. If a field is editable and if the selected resources do not have the same entry or setting, the fields appear empty. Non-editable fields are disabled.
• When changing fields for which the value must be unique, a series of entries is created. For example, if you assign an ID of 12345 to a group of three resources, the entries for each task are 12345, 12345-0, and 12345-1. The unique field appears empty after the field no longer has the same entry.
• If the selected resources have different settings, check boxes can appear disabled and selected.
• On the Advanced tab of the Multiple Selections dialog, groups of options can appear shaded. You can select them to reset their attributes for all the selected resources.
