How to Bulk Edit Event Types

1. Switch Event Types to List View


Event Types List ViewImage: Use the List view in the Event Types subsection.      

The Event Types subsection has two main views, List and Hierarchy. The List view is the best place to view and edit all current event types. 

Event Types toggleImage: Be sure the top toggle is set to List View.   

Be sure the Event Types List toggle at the top of the view is set to List View to reveal the Bulk Edit button.

Tip: Bulk Editing in Hierarchy View

Bulk editing is also available in the Hierarchy view for event-event types (not cabinet or folder event types), but starting with the list view is often simpler.

2. Select Event Types to Bulk Edit & Use the Bulk Edit Button

Note About Deactivating

Deactivating an event type means events can’t be created with the deactivated event type, but any existing event of that event type is preserved in the Series25 database, and you can report on previous events with that event type. You can also reactivate an event type if you decide you need it again in the advanced detail editing view.
