The Editable Grid enables you to edit Listing report results and make a variety of changes to information in multiple items at the same time. For example, you may want to use the Editable Grid to:
- View a list of items and provide a different value for the Severity field for each item as it applies.
- Assign items to appropriate users by creating a Listing report showing all unassigned items, and then updating them in the list. This is helpful for project managers who triage and assign issues.
- Simplify the process of submitting multiple items into an auxiliary table.
If you have privileges to update items in the report, you can use one of the edit modes: Update Only and All Transitions. Update only mode enables you to perform updates on all items that you have privileges to update. The All transitions mode enables you to choose from available transitions for the items in the results in addition to being able to update items.
