A global UI Action for admins that will add any record (plus attachments & translations) to the active update set. In the case of multi-scope record sets, the UI Action will automatically generate appropriate update sets in each application scope, bundling them under a batch update set for simple promotion to other ServiceNow instances.? Requires the 'Update Set Batching (com.glide.system_hierarchy_update_set)' plug-in

Features-

• Appears as a link at the bottom of each record
• For adding multiple records at once, appears as a drop-down menu option on each list
