First make sure scanEZ is running. If it's not, select any Lotus Notes database (email, personal address book, application etc.) on your workspace, and click the scanEZ icon on your Lotus Notes client toolbar.

  1. Select a category of documents in the selection tree of scanEZ which will make the Diff. button available.
  2. Click the Diff. button, which shows you the current content status of the documents selected (i.e. do items have the same values? same types? anything missing? etc.).
  3. Click the Values button to see the individual values of each document item. Hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking will help you select specific document items.
  4. To make mass item changes, select any document item and click the Modify button. In the window that appears apply a new constant value to all the documents currently selected.
  5. [Optional] Alternatively, (instead of a constant value) you can apply a formula to all your selected documents. Click the @ button in top right corner to switch to formula mode and create a formula (complex or not) to apply to many documents.
Congratulations! You are now finished editing an item in multiple documents.

Watch a short Flash tutorial for a quick overview of scanEZ and all its features.
