Bulk editing resources using saved search filters
Harness the power of saved searches to efficiently bulk-edit multiple resources based on predefined criteria. Saved search filters simplify recurring tasks, ensuring that all resources consistently meet the necessary metadata standards over time. By reusing these filters, you can regularly track and update resources that match your specific criteria, guaranteeing that essential updates are consistently applied.
To use saved filter for bulk editing resources:
Use the search page to find the resources you want to bulk edit. Utilize various filters to narrow down your search.
For example, search for all Columns in the Snowflake collection that are in pending Status.
Once you performed a search, save the search filter for easy access later. This is useful for recurring tasks, such as ensuring all resources meet specific metadata criteria over time.
