The Bulk Operation feature is provided to perform -

Notes:

• Filters applied on folders, system, custom, or Jira fields on the module are carried forward to the bulk operations. This allows performing bulk operations by filtering on all the fields.
• Fields enabled on the module grid are also enabled while selecting records on the bulk operations screen.

• When Jira is integrated with the project, requirements can be filtered on Jira fields. Users can then perform bulk operations on filtered records.

From where to access the Bulk Operation feature?

Open Test Case module list view.

Click on the Con icon  at the top right corner on the toolbar and select Bulk Operations.

Users can apply filter on test cases from the Test Cases module main screen. Filters applied on folders, system or custom fields on the module are carried forward to the bulk operations. With this, the bulk operations can be performed by filtering on all the fields. Fields enabled on the module grid are also enabled while selecting records on the bulk operations screen.

The table below show what operations you can perform for different test assets.

* Issues should have been created only in QMetry. Bulk Operations could not be carried out on issues imported from Jira.
