Bulk Updater is a web application that lets you update in bulk the properties (also called metadata) of your AODocs documents. All users can use the export feature in Bulk Updater; only library administrators and super administrators can use the update feature.
Before running an update, you must configure and run an export and edit the properties of your AODocs documents in your spreadsheet.

Run an update
1. Select the Recent tab.
2. If required, open the spreadsheet associated with the export to update and edit the properties of your AODocs documents.
3. Select Action > Start an update in the contextual menu.
4. A pop-up opens. If required, select Keep modification date. This prevents Bulk Updater from changing the last modification date of the document in AODocs. If you don't select this box, the last modification date of the document will be set to the current date.
5. In the pop-up, press Run!
Your update appears in the list of updates. When the status changes to DONE, your AODocs properties have been updated!
