how do i change the "status" field in ACCOUNTS from "checked" (default) to
"unchecked" (blank) globally in one action vs. having to go into each ACCOUNT
record and unchecking it manually?
Is their an SQL command or some other way to accomplish?
 
Hi

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, BCM does not currently support
bulk editing, however we will consider it in future releases.

Thanks.

Thanks to both for your replies. I will check the link an possibly try
through ODBC (Access).

Here's a followup Q, maybe addressed to Monica or anyone else:

When you create a new ACCOUNT record, when the form opens, the ACTIVE status
field displays BLANK (unchecked). When you save the record, it turns this
field ON, (checked). Is there anything I can change in the properties or
otherwise to turn this process OFF?

Hi

To address your follow up question, the answer is no, it cannot be set to
unchecked by default but we will take that into consideration for future
releases.

However, you can create a custom checkbox on the Account form and set it to
unchecked by default. This way, you do not have to rely on the 'Status' field
to track whatever it is that you need, but rather replace that with your own
customized checkbox.

Thanks.

Here is a tip to bulk edit the Active field. In account folder, change the
view to [by Active]. View->Current View->[By Active]. It will show you
accounts grouped in two groups. You can select multiple accounts from one
group and drag and drop them in other group. This will automatically chnge
the Active field.
