Feature

Starting with Goldenseal small business accounting software version 4.8, we have added a checkbox to the Replace All command, that allows you to fill the new values only into records that currently have a blank in that field.

How to Use

To fill the same data into many records, follow these steps:

1. If necessary, use the Find command to locate the records you want to change.
2. Fill what you want into the desired field in the current record.
3. Choose Replace All from the Edit menu.
4. Chose the field(s) you want to replace in all the found records.
5. If you want to skip records that already have a value there, turn on the Only Fill Blank Fields checkbox.
6. Click OK.
7. Goldenseal will fill the selected data into all records, or all blank records, depending on the setting at step 5.
