| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Look In | Select the General Information field for which you want to replace data. |
| Look For | Enter or select the specific data you want to replace in the selected field. If the field you selected contains a SmartList, you can select the value from a drop-down list. |
| All Values in Field | Select this check box if you do not want to enter data in the Look For field, and you would rather have all data replaced in the specified field. If you select this check box, the Look For field is no longer available. |
| Blank Values in Field | Select this check box if you want to replace fields that are blank. If you select this check box, the Look For field is no longer available. |
| Replace With | Enter or select the specific data you want to use to replace the old data. If the field you selected contains a SmartList, you can select the value from a drop-down list. |
| Blank Values in Field |
Select this check box to replace the old data with a blank field. If you select this check box, the Replace With field is no longer available. Note: You cannot enter certain words in the Look For or Replace With fields because they are reserved by the application. For more information, see Reserved Words for Replace Feature. |
| [Find Next] | Click this button to display the next selected asset in the Asset List containing the old data that you want to replace. The system scrolls so that you can view the field that you selected in the Look In field, if necessary. You can move the Replace on Selected Assets window to view this asset. If you decide you want to replace the data, click the Replace button. |
| [Replace] | Click this button to replace the value entered in the Look For field with the value entered in the Replace With field. This button is not available until you have clicked the Find Next button. When you click the Replace button, the system replaces data for one field at a time. Therefore, after you replace the data for one asset, you must click the Find Next button again before you can click the Replace button for another asset. |
| [Replace All] | Click this button to replace the value entered in the Look For field with the value entered in the Replace With field for all selected assets in the Asset List. |
Note: It is possible that after you replace data, one or more assets may no longer qualify for the group currently displayed in the Asset List. In that case, the asset will not appear in the Asset List when you close the Replace on Selected Assets window.
