  3. Enter the text fragment with which you want to replace the original fragment in the Replace text box.

  4. Define the appropriate Server Library ( Models, Templates, ) where you want to perform bulk editing by selecting the corresponding check boxes in the Find in line. You can assign bulk editing to the whole definition object or to its particular settings, for example, to channel links and titles of the alerts log only. Consider the following options:

    • In the Find in line, select the check boxes corresponding to the objects to which bulk editing will be applied.

    • If you want to apply bulk editing to all models, for example, select the Models checkbox.
