Apply Different Edits to a Group of Person Records
In Unite, you can use the inline edit function to apply different edits to a group of person records. Specifically, you can add or update field values; and you can add, update, and delete sub-records on selected person records. Sub-records include addresses, phone numbers, emergency contacts, and groupings. The following table provides a description of the updates you can make using the inline edit function.

When you use the inline edit function, there are several tools that you can use to apply edits efficiently. Like grid functionality throughout Unite, you can sort and filter specific columns. Plus, there is a command bar with functions to control what you see on the grid as well as actions you want to take on selected records.
