Change attributes

The Change Attributes action in the Virima CMDB enables users to update one or more field values across selected Configuration Items (CIs) in bulk.

• Select one or more blueprints.

• Click the Select Actions dropdown at the top-right of the CMDB list.

• Choose Change Attributes from the dropdown.

  

• After selecting blueprints and triggering the Change Attribute action, a confirmation prompt appears.

  

• Click "Yes" to proceed or "No" to cancel. A screen then displays all editable fields, grouped by category.

• Editable fields are grouped by category based on the blueprint example (with a detailed list of categories and example fields).

• Properties common to all blueprints, if edited, are reflected in all CIs associated with the selected blueprints.

• Properties specific to a particular blueprint, if edited, are reflected only in CIs associated with that blueprint.
