Method and system for implementing a mass data change tool in a graphical user interface

摘要

A method and system are provided for implementing a mass data change tool to update the column data for the selected rows in a table presented in the graphical user interface of a software application. The mass data change tool may include an additional row, a mass data change row, in the table and an initiation means to trigger the mass data change. The additional mass data change row may contain input fields for one more columns of the table for which mass data updating is provided. These input fields may be used to specify valid field values to update the selected rows of the table. The initiation means may be a button or other graphical icon in the additional mass data change row of the table. The initiation means for the mass data change tool may include any known initiation means such as a pull-down menu option or button on the graphical user interface.
