Add Files to a Batch

  2. To check or clear all boxes in this column, check the box in the heading of the column.
  3. In the Client card view, check the box next to the file name in the preview. Files added to batch lock automatically to prevent editing and show a lock next to the name.

Client Manager Batch Locking Symbols

When you add files to a batch, the Client Manager locks them so that no other changes can be made before batch processing. Icons in the Client Manager tell you the locking status:
  1. Files with a lock icon are included in the batch, which means no one can change them until they are removed from the batch.
  2. Missing files have a question mark icon and they will not be processed.
  3. Read-only, or in-use files have a “do not write” icon and they will not be processed.
