  3. Select Add LHR Field String from the Script Name drop-down list.
  4. For Field String, click the drop-down menu and enter the name of the field string you want to add. As you type, the system automatically suggests names of potential matches.
  5. Select the name of the field string that you want to add when it appears.
  6. Select the LHR record(s) to which you want to add the field string.

    • To select all records in the work list, click Actions > Edit > All Target Records.
  7. (Optional) Preview selected records with the script change.
    1. Select up to 25 records to which you want to apply the script change.
    2. Click Actions > View Selected Record(s) > Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied. The View LHRs - Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied screen displays the selected records with the script change applied and includes any validation errors.
    3. Click View Current Record(s) to view the selected records in their current state. From the View LHRs - Current Record(s) screen, click Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied to return to the View LHRs - Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied screen.

The time it takes to run varies depending on how many records you are editing. While the process is running, you can perform other actions in Record Manager outside of the LHR tab in the Record Work Lists screen.

    A confirmation message appears identifying how many records successfully updated or failed to update when the script has finished running.

To locate the failed record:

  1. Select Included Status(es) from the Filter by drop-down list.
  2. Select the status of the failed record from the drop-down list.
  3. Click Apply Filter(s) to locate the failed record.
