Using the Bulk Rename tool, you can choose to rectify/change multiple document IDs at once. This tool is only accessible to the User who has the System Manager role assigned.
You can rename IDs of up to 500 records at a time. The following are steps to bulk rename bulk records. Let's assume we are renaming Employee IDs for the existing employees.
In a spreadsheet file, enter old Employee IDs in the first column, new Employee Ids in the second column, and whether this record should be merged with an existing (false by default). Save spreadsheet file in a CSV format without the header.
Old Name | New Name | Merge |
---|---|---|
HR-EMP-00001 | EMP0001 | FALSE |
HR-EMP-00002 | EMP0002 | FALSE |
HR-EMP-00003 | EMP0003 | FALSE |
HR-EMP-00004 | EMP0004 | FALSE |
HR-EMP-00005 | EMP0005 | FALSE |
HR-EMP-00006 | EMP0006 | FALSE |
