Batch Ignore

Note

Ignoring a resource is only relevant for the user’s current view.

If the user ignores the resource in the administrative backend view, the resource belongs to the system in the ignore list, i.e. the resource is ignored only in the administrative backend view, and it can still be viewed in the suggestion list in other views.
If the user ignores the resource in the domain admin backend view, the resource belongs to the specified domain in the ignore list, i.e. the resource is ignored only in the specified domain admin backend view, and the resource is still available in the suggestion list in other views.
If the user ignores the resource in the project view, the resource belongs to the specified project in the ignore list, i.e. the resource is ignored only in the specified project view, and can still be seen in the suggestions list in other views.

Select one or more resources in the suggestion list and click the “Ignore” button at the top of the list to bring up the action confirmation dialog.
Click the “OK” button to batch add the resource to the ignore list.
