About the Bulk Data Form

Regardless of whether you open one record or multiple records, the lets you view only one datasheet at a time. So, even if the record hierarchy displays multiple records, you can view the details only of the selected record.

The Bulk Data Form, however, lets you view the details of multiple records belonging to the same family. This can be useful if you want to compare data for multiple entities without having to switch between records and remember the information in each record.

If a master/detail datasheet is designated as the default datasheet for a family, at least one non-custom form datasheet must exist for a family before that family can be opened in the Bulk Data Form. If a master/detail datasheet is specified as the default datasheet for a family and you try to open that family in the Bulk Data Form, the Bulk Data Form will display the family using the first non-custom form that appears after the default datasheet in that family's list of datasheets.

Using the Bulk Data Form, you can add new records and modify existing records in the database.
