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.
