Bulk Edit Data Fields

Bulk Edit Data Fields

Upload documents to Contract Management and Document Intelligence.
Contract Management and Document Intelligence enables you to simultaneously edit a data field across multiple documents from the search results page.
This functionality helps you:
  • Tag archived documents.
  • Exclude documents.
  • Simplify searches for documents with similar characteristics.
You can edit any data field in an individual document by selecting
Edit
 on the
Overview
 tab. You can also create custom data fields on the Admin Console. For details, see Set Up Data Fields.
Workday currently limits bulk editing to approximately 10,000 documents and bulk deleting or copying to 500 documents.
