Note the following facts about batch updates:

Batch updates can be run either from a grid view or from the main window.

A batch update run from a grid view applies the update to the records listed in the grid.

A batch update run from the main window applies the update to pages and documents selected under the Index tab of the main window.

For more information about selecting records using grids see Launching the Grids.

For more information about updating documents individually, see Document-Level Coding.
