EA Release notification: Edit of multiple licenses (standard fields) in SAM on Snow Atlas

Release summary:

We are excited to introduce Edit of multiple licenses (standard fields) in SAM on Snow Atlas. This enhancement enables you to update multiple licenses in a single operation, directly from the Licenses list, eliminating repetitive manual updates and reducing reliance on APIs, imports, or technical support.

What’s included?

• Multi-editing capability: Select and update up to 10,000 licenses across different license metrics and assignment types, updating only the fields that are applicable to the selected licenses.
• Standard field updates: Modify key license attributes across multiple records simultaneously.
• In-app experience: Perform all updates directly from the Licenses list without APIs, imports, or external tools.
• Permission consistency: Use existing edit permissions with no additional configuration required.
• Audit log support: Multi-edit updates are recorded in the audit log, providing visibility into changes made across licenses.
• For each license value or setting:
  • Only changed values are updated.
  • If the selected licenses share the same value, it appears in the edit view.
  • If the selected licenses have different values before the change, you will see "Values differ" in the edit view.

Why this matters?

• Simplifies organizational changes: Update ownership, cost center, department, or other standard fields across hundreds of licenses after mergers, acquisitions, restructures, or team changes.
• Supports mixed license estates: Apply updates across licenses with different license metrics and assignment types in a single operation, reducing the effort required to maintain diverse software portfolios.
• Accelerates data cleanup initiatives: Correct outdated or inconsistent license information across large numbers of licenses without editing each record individually.
• Improves data consistency: Ensure common attributes remain aligned across the license estate, reducing errors and improving reporting accuracy.
• Reduces technical dependency: Enables users to perform large-scale updates directly in the product without relying on APIs, imports, or technical teams.
• Saves significant time: Activities that previously required numerous manual updates can now be completed in a single operation, freeing teams to focus on compliance, optimization, and vendor management.

What’s next?

• Support for editing of custom fields for licenses is planned for Q4 and is currently in development.
