Sometimes a quick update is needed, editing each individual Item is inefficient and the updates are unique enough that a batch update is not much of an improvement.  The solution is inline editing directly from the List view.

Edit a Field

1.Double-click on the target field.

2.Select a Save option from the List view header.
3.Enter any comments and notifications if necessary by selecting the Save with Comment/Notification button.
4.Clicking on the Save button will commit the updates and create new versions of the Items but will skip the Comments and Notifications dialog.
5.Contour will make sure that changes are not lost when closing or moving away from the List view.

Note:  There are hotkeys Ctrl+s for Save and Ctrl+Shft+s for Save with Comment.  Focus must be on a cell within the List for the hotkeys to work.
