Yes, using ‘Bulk State Transition’ option the states of the records can be changed provided all the records states are same. If any one record has different state then this operation will fail. Please refer help link [Bulk State Transition](http://www.sapphireims.com/help/Bulk_State_Transition_New_UI.htm) on how to do it.
