View the Bulk Update Results

The MMT will display the results of your bulk update operation on a status page.   You may have to refresh the page until the Status of the operation is Complete.

The status of each collection in the bulk update operation will be shown in a table at the bottom of the page.

NOTES: 

a.  If the Find value was not present in a collection record in the operation, no bulk update will occur, but the collection status will be COMPLETE.

b.  A new CMR Revision will be created for each COMPLETE record in the Bulk Update operation, regardless of whether the record was actually updated.
