Actioning selected records
The following actions may be available from the actions menu when you have one or more records selected provided the actions have been enabled by your RM Workspace administrator and that you have the appropriate access permissions and HP TRIM/HPE RM security profile.
To preview the attachment of a record, simply click on the record's title. It does not need to be selected prior.
You may need to scroll down the actions menu to view additional actions further down the list. The actions menu offers its own scroll bar (if necessary) just to the right of the action items when your cursor is in the actions menu..
Note: Generic action terms are used in this document. Your RM Workspace administrator may have changed some action names to suit your organisation's terminology.
Actions listed below have been displayed alphabetically for ease of reference.
