Mass rename in WC or Intralink 9.1

msteffke · ‎Aug 01, 2011

Is there really no way to rename a group of items in 9.1 in the user
interface? I want to take everything in a folder and rename it. Did
it in IL3.4 all the time, this is very important functionality.

How would you do that? As far as I can tell, you can only rename new objects in a workspace (as of 9.1 M050). I just added some files to a workspace, selected them, and chose File / Rename (workspace File menu, not the Pro/E File menu).

Functionality is gone.
Thanks everyone. A suprising amount of silence. We are all OK with
this?
