          Update Multiple Cases

          Update Multiple Cases

          From any case list page, administrators can “mass update” multiple cases at once. From any queue list view, users can take ownership of one or more cases if they are a member of that queue, if they are higher in the role or territory hierarchy than a queue member, or if the organization’s default sharing for cases is Public Read/Write/Transfer.

          Required Editions

          User Permissions Needed
          To change case owner:

          Transfer Cases OR Transfer Record

          AND

          Edit on cases

          To close and change the status of cases: Manage Cases

          Check the boxes next to the desired cases and click the appropriate button. The following actions are possible:

          • Accept—Assigns you as the owner of the selected cases in a queue list view. Any attached open activities are transferred to you as well. In organizations that do not have the Public Read/Write/Transfer sharing model for cases, you can take cases only from queues of which you are a member or if you are higher in the role hierarchy than a queue member.
          • Change Owner—Assigns the cases to the one user or queue you specify. Any attached open activities are transferred to the new owner as well. When putting cases in a queue, the open activities are not transferred.

            In addition to the required user permissions for this feature, you must have read sharing access to the cases you are updating.

            Note
            Note When the selected Case records use multiple record types, the "Change Status" page shows the available Status values associated with the logged-in User's default Case record type. When using a single record type, the "Change Status" page shows values associated with that record type and its Support Process. When you change case ownership, any associated open activities assigned to the current case owner are transferred to the new owner.
          • CloseCloses the selected cases using the values you specify. You can set a common Status and Reason and add any comments.

            You must have the “Manage Cases” permission and read/write sharing access to the cases to use this feature.

          • Change Status—Changes the Status of the cases to the value you set.

            You must have the “Manage Cases” permission and read/write sharing access to the cases to use this feature.
