*NOTE* Bulk edit selections won't stay selected after clicking next page
If this occurs then the issue you’re seeing is related to the table control being used on the webpage. It only stores in memory the state of the check boxes for the current page being viewed. If you make selections, then page forward/back those selections will be lost. You can, however, accomplish what you want by expanding the number of devices shown on each page. In the top-left corner is a drop-down labeled “records per page”; use this to expand the number of entries displayed until you see all you want to select for Bulk Edit.
