Hi
In our recent webinar about streamlining metadata automation we got a survey question which showed I didn’t make the functionality clear:
“I am not seeing how this will help. We have over 500 different layers, the bulk example showed over a hundred layers being updated but they were all the exact same layer, which is a situation in my opinion that doesn't exist for most people.”
My demo indeed showed 145 portal items of the same type having their metadata updated according to some admittedly bogus business rules. I failed to make the point that any number of any item type could be handled. For example if contact detail changes meant a phone number or email contact needed to be changed you might search all items for the string to replace, or if you knew only shared items of a particular type needed license terms changed then operate on only those.
Sorry for the confusion.
