First, select two or more objects that you want to change. Use Ctrl or Ctrl+Shift keys to perform multi selection.
Right click on any of the selected objects
A context menu with multi edit menu option will be shown
Please note that the selection must consists of the objects of the same class. Otherwise the option will be grayed out.
Editing from Grid View
Select a number of records from the grid using "check selection"
Use Object menu to select Multi edit function
Grid View allows editing objects from grouping tabs. For example, multiple document classes can be edited from the Document tab.
In that case a general schema for Document will be used, so only common properties can be updated.

Right click on any of the spots to show context menu
Select Multi Edit function. Please remember that the default objects linked to selected spots must be of the same class

Specifics of using multi edit view:
System will compare all objects and provide common set of properties
You can expect the following results
<Multiple Values> shown as a field background means that objects do not have the same value in that field.
You have an option to enter a common value that will be assigned to all objects or use a Clear button to remove the value from all objects.Empty field - this means that all objects do no have value in that field
Specific value - this means that all objects have this value in that field
Required fields will not be validated unless you want to use clear function. Clear function will be disabled for required fields
Field validation rules will only be run for modified fields. In specific case when dependent field validation rules are set,
the validation might not be triggered on client side. If the rule is not met when values for a specific object are checked, the update might be rejected by the server.Reset button rejects your unsaved values, but does not remove the "clear" flags,
After the values are saved a simple report is shown describing if all selected objects were successfully updated.
