how to retrigger Property calculator calculation rule?

GuillaumeM

Hello Community,

I put in place a rule in PC to calculate the displayed name of an object, it works well but now I looking how I can re-run this rule to update the existing objects,like the recalculate action on  property with automatic value?

Is it possible somehow?

    If it's the name, you can use recalculate function of the admin tool. If you right click the class, there is an option to recalculate names. It will ask you to go for empty ones or everrything, then, does the relcalculation.

    Couple things to check before going for it

    • If you go for recalcuate everything and the class has too many objects (thousands or more) it will take time
    • check if you have objects in the class that has no value on a required field. This will halt renaming 
    • be sure that you want everything in that class renamed.. as that is exactly what that will do
    • check your code or naming scheme is well thought on every possible combination
