What is the difference between list editing and mass change?

Both functions are used for quickly editing multiple objects, but they work differently.

List editing

List editing allows the parallel editing of one category across multiple objects — directly in the list view.

• Open an object list and click "List editing"
• The fields become editable directly in the table
• All changes are applied at once when saving

Suitable for: Changing the same category across many objects (e.g. setting the location for 20 servers)

Mass change

Mass change applies a predefined set of changes to selected objects.

• Select the desired objects in an object list via checkbox
• Click "Mass change"
• Define the values to be changed across multiple categories
• The changes are applied to all selected objects

Suitable for: Changing different categories simultaneously for selected objects (e.g. location, contact, and CMDB status)
