How to bulk update multiple records at once using Data Viewer

Data Viewer is a powerful tool for querying and viewing your Landscape data. It also allows you to update a single field across multiple records all at once.

  • Start with a view of the things you want to edit. For example, if you want to update the 'Category' field of multiple Property records, you would start with an 'All Records' view. If you want to update the status of multiple Issues at once, you would start with an 'Issues' view. Etc. You may need to create a new view from scratch in order to see the field you want to edit.
  • Make the field you want to edit visible by using the 'Fields' button. You may also wish to add additional fields that make filtering the records you want to see easier (see callout below).
  • Select the records you want to edit by clicking the check box to the left of the record. The top left box will select all records.
  • Click on the three dots in the view toolbar and select 'Edit Selected Results'


  • Keep the first option as 'Update Field', then select the field you want to edit. If you do not see the field as an option, then it's likely that you are looking at the wrong type of view (ie. you need a Record view instead of an Issue view, etc.). You can also select whether to add the selected value or remove the selected value.


  • Click 'OK', then click 'Yes' to confirm. The view will then display the new added value in the field.


Tip: Apply filters to use of the 'Select All' button for quick record selection

You can apply filters to the view and use the 'select all' button in order to make selecting the records you want easier. For example, if you wanted to add a 'Primary Contact' tag to most but not all of your 'Landowner' Contact Roles, then you would start with a view of 'All Active Record Contacts' > Apply a filter to 'Tag' of 'Landowner' > then select all records using the top left check box > then de-select the few records that you don't want to apply the new category to.
