Bulk Editing

The catalog supports bulk operations that let you update multiple data products at once — saving time when you need to tag, assign ownership, change status, or archive products across your space.

Selecting Products​

Multi-Select Mode​

To begin bulk editing:

  1. Open the Data Catalog in your space
  2. Click the checkbox that appears on each product card
  3. Select multiple products — the count updates in the toolbar
  4. A Bulk Action Toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen

You can select products across multiple pages; selections are preserved as you navigate.

Select All​

Use the Select All checkbox in the toolbar header to select all visible products in the current filtered view.

Bulk Actions​

With products selected, the toolbar offers the following actions:

Bulk Tag​

Assign tags to all selected products at once:

  1. Click Tag in the toolbar
  2. Select one or more tags from the dropdown
  3. Click Apply — tags are added to all selected products

Bulk Status Change​

Change the status of all selected products:

  1. Click Status in the toolbar
  2. Select the target status (Active or Archived)
  3. Confirm the action

Bulk Owner Assignment​

Assign or change the owner for all selected products:

  1. Click Owner in the toolbar
  2. Search for and select a user
  3. Click Apply — the owner is updated on all selected products

Bulk Archive​

Archive multiple products at once:

  1. Click Archive in the toolbar
  2. Confirm the action
  3. Selected products are soft-archived (hidden by default, can be restored)

Bulk Edit Modal​

For more complex edits, click Edit in the toolbar to open the Bulk Edit Modal. This lets you update multiple fields across all selected products simultaneously:

  • Description — Apply the same description to all selected products
  • Owner / Steward / Custodian — Assign governance roles
  • Tags — Add or replace tags
  • Product Type — Change the product type classification
  • Status — Set the product status
note

Bulk edits use a "set" operation — the values you provide replace existing values for all selected products. Existing values that are not edited are preserved.

Permissions​

Bulk operations require the same permissions as individual edits. If you don't have permission to edit a specific product, it will be skipped during the bulk operation and the toolbar will indicate how many products were successfully updated.
