## In this section

- [Opening a Task's Records](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/opening-task-records.md): Open the staged records of a Task from Monitor Mass Changes, from an assistant's link or from a short link with the Task ID.
- [Filtering Records and Reading Messages](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/filtering-records.md): Narrow a Task to the records that need attention and read what SAP or MDM said about each of them.
- [Changing Many Records at Once (Mass Edit)](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/mass-edit.md): Set, keep or clear fields on the selected records or on every record that matches your filter, review the count, apply; edited records return to Not Started.
- [Removing Records from a Task and Deleting a Task](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/deleting-records-and-tasks.md): Remove staged records or a whole Task from the staging area; nothing changes in SAP and the history keeps what happened.
- [Fields That Will Be Cleared in SAP](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/fields-cleared-in-sap.md): On a Change row an empty cell clears the field in SAP; MDM names those fields before you process, and you can avoid it by deleting the column or keeping the value.
- [Why a Record Cannot Be Edited Right Now](https://help.rikaiso.com/public-cloud/2026.2/record-locked.md): A run owns the Task, your role does not allow it, the quota is used up, or the Task has expired: what each looks like and what to do.
