Finds certain information stored on assets in selected records and replaces it with information entered by the user. (Available only if you are allowed to modify records.)
1. Select one or more records.
2. Select Metadata > Find And Replace Metadata. A dialog opens.
3. Select the field that stores the information you want replaced. Clicking the arrow button reveals a list of all editable String fields of all open catalogs.
4. Enter the text to be replaced in the Text to find field.
5. Enter the replacement text in the field Replace with.
NOTE: For a line break, enter \n.
FOR SPECIALISTS ONLY: If you activate the Use Regular Expression checkbox, you can enter regular expressions (Perl 5 like) in the Text to find and Replace with fields. For a description on using regular expressions, please refer to specific information available in book stores and on the Web.
6. Click Start. Cumulus starts to search for the entered text in the selected field of the selected records. You will get a notice for each of the selected records whether the text was replaced or not. Replacements are not necessary if the text to be replaced wasn’t contained in the selected field or if a record is stored in a catalog that does not provide the selected field.
