DigitSec allows users to quickly make the same modification to multiple issues at the same time. Using the Web application, users can edit up to 100 different issues at the same time. More advanced users may choose to use the API which can accommodate modifications of 10,000+ issues at the same time. This document describes how to use Bulk Update through the Web Application.
Select your Issues
Please note the checkbox selectors that can be used to add an issue to your selection. The top arrow in the diagram below appears in the Data Table Column Headers Row and can be used to select all of the issues appearing on the screen.
The lower arrow in the diagram below points to a checkbox that can be used to select or de-select that single issue.
To select or de-select a range of issues all at once, users can use a Shift-Click with their keyboard and mouse to activate or deactivate the issues within the selected range.
Select your Action
Once you have an active selection of issues, click the 3-dot menu that appears next to the New Issues toggle button.
You will be presented with two options: Export and Edit Selections.
Export
When you choose the Export, this function will take the currently displayed columns and all of the issues of the current query and export them to a CSV file that will download immediately to the browser. You can modify the selection of columns exported by modifying the columns menu that appears above the data-grid on the left hand side.
Edit Selections
The Edit Selections choice activates a modal dialog box as seen below.
For Users that have the appropriate permissions, the dialog box will allow them to make modifications to the Status, Severity, Assignment, Comments and Tags. If there is a requirement that Status changes require a comment, this dialog will enforce that.
Once this modal dialog has been completed, Submit will apply the input to all of the selected issues in an asynchronous action. Users will see a green Slider Notification in the Lower Right hand corners indicating the task has been accepted. It may take several moments for the modifications to be applied to all selected issues. When this is complete, a notification message will appear in the Page Header indicating the update was complete. Notifications will stack in the modal dialog until they are dismissed.
