With the function “Edit variants” single parameters of a selection of contacts can be changed to a uniform value in one step. This is helpful e.g. when a new sales representative shall be assigned to divers contacts.

For the collective editing all affected contacts will be selected and the button “Modify variants” needs to be clicked.

 

Within the appearing window all contacts data fields are shown. Here the new values for all chosen contacts can be entered. For selection lists, e.g. sales representatives the possible values will be presented in drop down list for selection. All values that are checked in the first column will be overwritten.
