In Uncountable, users can now update ingredient categories in bulk within a specific material family. By adding the “Ingredient in Material Family” Category column to the ingredient listing, users can edit the category for selected ingredients using the Bulk Editor. This provides an alternative to the standard Category column, which applies changes across all material families.
Updating Ingredient Categories per Material Family
To bulk change the category for selected ingredients within a specific material family, access the Ingredients listing page (Inputs/Outputs → Inputs → Ingredients).
Next, add an “Ingredient in Material Family” Category column to the Ingredients listing:
- Click List → Set Columns.
- In the Select Columns modal, add an “Ingredient in Material Family” Category column.
- Column Type: Ingredient in Material Family
- Material Family: Select the Material Family within which you want the ingredient category updated (i.e. “Default”).
- Field: Category
- Click “Add & Save”.
Select all ingredients for which you want to add or edit the category.
Access the selection menu and choose “Toggle Bulk Editor”.
In the top, editable row of the listing, select the desired category from the Category dropdown menu. Click “Save” to apply the change to all selected ingredients.
Once saved, the category will be bulk updated for all selected ingredients within the configured material family.
