Overview

Mass editing allows users to change multiple (homogenous) objects simultaneously. Usually, these objects are selected from a list or table and have most or all of their changeable facets in common, such as object name, object ID, or description.

By aggregating all the values for each of these facets, users can quickly choose to either keep or overwrite them.
