3.5. Changing a Blocks Status

Changing a blocks status can be accomplished by editing the block and setting it's status accordingly. When setting the status of a block be sure to consider the ramifications of changing a block's status. For example if you have a block of size /19 and are using the Network Allocation Wizard to assign blocks you want to be sure to NOT set your /19 to anything other then 'Allocated'. This is because if the /19 was set to 'Assigned' you would close that block for consideration by the Allocation Wizard and not be able to automatically allocate any new blocks.

3.5.1. Recursive Updates

If you check the 'Update Recursively' box next to your new status type this will change the status for EVERY block under that block, not just it's direct children. Be careful when doing this because you wouldn't want to set an entire /19 block to 'Blocked'.
