Mass Maintenance

Add a Mass Change Custom Link to a Custom Page

If Mass Changes should be allowed to the request data, the MassChange Custom Link must be defined for the Data Entry page so that a user can access the Request Mass Change page from the Data Entry page. An Administrator can use the Custom Link WebApp Customization feature in System Administration to add the link.
