Editing Item Attributes

Purpose

Edit item attributes to set or change various system or user-defined attribute values.

PRIVILEGES  Update Item

The attribute update rules defined in the process model determine which attributes you can edit.

NOTE  When you edit an item attribute that is sensitive, thus requiring an electronic signature, you will be presented with an Authentication Point dialog box. In this case, enter your Dimensions CM password and click OK.

To edit item attributes:

  1. In an Items list, select one or more items.

  2. You can select multiple items if they belong to the same product and have the same item type.

    NOTE  The behavior when editing multi-valued attributes for multiple items depends on the setting of the variable DM_DISABLE_MULTIPLE_EDIT_ATTRS. See the System Administration Guide for details.

  3. Select Item | Edit Attributes.

  4. If required, edit the text field for the Item Description.

  5. On the Attributes tab:
