Modify multiple CF structures

You can apply a modification to a set of CF structures at one time. To do so, follow the steps in this procedure.

About this task

In this procedure, you select a set of CF structures and apply a modification to them. Begin by using a table filter to locate the set of structures that you want to modify. You can filter by a common attribute, for example, structure names that share a common string pattern. Then, select the structure attributes to be changed and apply the changes to the selected structures. This approach can save you time compared to editing structures one by one.

Procedure

  1. Filter the set of structures to the set that you want to modify.
    1. Click the filter icon in the CF Structures table taskbar to open the filter pane.
      The filter pane offers drop-downs and field types to help you construct a filter.
    2. Use the filter pane to display the set of structures that you want to modify.
      For example, if you want to modify structures that contain the string "cache" in the structure name, and enter Column: Structure Name > Condition: Contains > Value: cache to find the matching structures.
  2. Select the structures that you want to modify.
    Notice that the CF Structures table displays a taskbar with the options Delete, Copy, Modify, and Cancel.
  3. Click Modify.
  4. In the Modify Multiple CF Structures window, enter values for the attributes that you want to modify.
    These values will be applied to the selected CF structures, which are listed under Selected CF Structures to Modify. Fields that you leave empty are not modified.
  5. If you are working with numerical values, such as sizes, determine whether to apply your changes as absolute values or relative (percentage-based) values.
    By default, your changes are applied as absolute values. If you select the Relative option, the attributes you modify can increase or decrease by the specified percentage.
    You can apply a relative change to individual fields or all of the selected fields.
    As you work, the CFRM Policy Editor might alert you to incorrect or conflicting input values.
  6. Click OK to save your modifications to the structures.

Results

On completion, the CF Structures table is displayed, showing the modified structures.
