Bulk Operations

WARNING

This feature is available as part of vREST NG Pro/Enterprise version.

Bulk Operations functionality allows you to update a large list of test cases/hooks in a single operation.

Caution

Before performing the bulk operation, we recommend you take a backup or commit your project data. Because this operation updates several records at once. Any mistakes during this operation will result in a lot of effort.

How to perform Bulk Operation

To perform the bulk operation, simply follow the steps below:

1. First select the record(s) (either test cases or hooks) on which you want to perform the bulk operation. If you don't select any records then the bulk operation will be performed on all the records available.

2. Now, click on the More Actions button labeled as ... in the left pane toolbar in the Test Cases / Hooks tab and then select Bulk Operation from the list of options as shown in the figure below.

3. A dialog window will appear as shown in figure below.

4. From this dialog window, select the desired operation say Set/unset Authorization and then provide the desired value for that field.

5. Now, click on Submit to perform the bulk operation.
