Bulk Insert

This option is useful if you wish to add, on a regular basis, a group of blank fields to catalogue records. This is a time saving alternative to repeating the Field, Insert command.

First create a list of fields to be inserted by choosing a name for your list and enter it by selecting Administration Menu, Bulk Insert, Amend List Names from the Main Menu.

Then add some fields to the list, select Administration Menu, Bulk Insert, Amend Field Lists, select your new list name and press OK, choose the fields you wish to insert, highlight them and press OK. Then click Cancel (as you do not wish to choose another list to amend) to return to the menu.

When a Catalogue record is displayed, press the Bulk Field Insert button    to display available lists. When you choose a list, the fields that do not already exist on the record will automatically be inserted.

Warning: Adding a lot of bulk insert lists may slow down the start-up of Calm.
