In BIMcollab, you have the possibility to edit multiple issues at the same time. To do this, you must go to the Issues page in your project and choose the list or tile view to display the issues.
When you are using the List view, you can use the check boxes on the left to choose the issues you wish to edit.
If you want to select all the issues present in the list, you can check the box at the top of the table.
When you are in the 'tile view', you can use each checkbox on the issue tile to select it.
After you have selected the issues, you can:
Click on the red, yellow, or green flags to add the selected issues to your favorites collection
Click on the 'Edit' button in the status bar to display the options window, which will allow you to carry out the following modifications:
Modify issue properties, such as type, area, milestone, and others
Add team members to the list of approvers
Add a common comment to all selected issues
In multi-edit mode, you can edit almost all issue properties except visibility settings and issue status:
The 'Visible for' field can only be changed in the multi-edit mode if you created all of the selected issues
The status of the issues can only be changed if all the selected issues have the same status:
If all the selected issues have the status 'Active', you will have access to the 'Resolve' and 'Resolve and close' buttons
If all the selected issues have the status 'To be approved', you will have access to the button 'Close', and if you are added to the list of approvers for the issue, you will see the options 'Approve' and 'Reject' as well
If all the selected issues have the status 'Resolved', you will have access to the 'Reactivate' and 'Close' buttons
If all the selected issues have the status 'Closed', you will have access to the 'Reopen' button
You can change the status in the status bar or edit mode when you have selected similar issues.
⚠️ Attention: If it is not possible to close issues, it means the ability to close issues is limited to certain people or groups by the project leader.
⚠️ Attention: Be mindful when adding team members to the notify list, as each user will receive a notification email for every issue updated.
💡 Tip: If a team member is leaving your project and you need to quickly reassign their issues to a new person, you can easily multi-select all issues by using a filter for the 'Assigned to' field and then perform a bulk edit.
