Batch editing joblists

Once a joblist is created, powerful batch editing tools allow you to apply changes to multiple jobs. Any setting you can apply to a job can be applied to many. With a joblist for a project open, select "Batch edit" to see the options.  
 
 Normal batch edit
 
 With "normal" batch editing, you first need to select which jobs to change. This is done in the top section.
 
 You can click "Open job list" to see exactly which ones would be affected by the current options.  
 
 
 
 
 Batch edit selected jobs
 
 With this mode, you filter the joblist first . You can then apply a batch edit to the selected/visible ones. Saving joblist filters is especially handy for this kind of work, if you find yourself often applying the same type of change to a certain kind of job. For example a specific target language and job type.  
 
 
 Run Macro
 
 Macros are also applied to all visible/selected jobs. You can create new macros when batch editing.  
 
 
 Fill in the blanks
 
 This special feature is used for one thing: to assign people to an existing joblist. It takes another look at every unassigned job, and its criteria, and tries to select a user. This is typically done after makes some changes in the user database under People, giving the system a better chances to find the right person for the job.  
 
 
 Quicklinks
 
 Quickly create quicklinks for all visible jobs in the joblist 
 
 
 Calculate job fees
 
 Use a Resource matrix to quickly fill in Custom job fees for all visible jobs in the joblist 
 Or specify a custom fee per unit for all visible jobs 
 
 
 
 
 Entering batch edit mode from a joblist 
 
 Batch editing in "normal" mode: first select which jobs to affect. 
 
 Select what to change. Fields and options left alone will remain unaffected. Confirm by clicking "Batch".
