Mass edit table

The Mass edit table component provides a tabular interface that lets users update multiple entities at the same time.

Important

The Mass edit table page component supports a maximum of 100 columns, but for performance reasons, try to keep the number of columns below 50. When you manually mass edit assets, conditional members are included in results only when the condition on the mass edit page is met.

To add a Mass edit table component:

  1. On the menu bar, click Manage .

  2. On the Manage page, click Pages.

  3. On the Pages page, select the page you want to modify.

  4. On the Layout tab, add the Mass-edit table component.

  5. Click the component to open its details page.

  6. In the Definition list, select the entity definition to associate with the component.

  7. To include thumbnail images of assets in the table, turn on the Show thumbnail switch.

  8. To let users navigate to the details page from the mass edit table, turn on the Detail page navigation switch, click Add, select a details page, and then click OK.

  9. To add a column to the table, in the COLUMNS section, click Add column and, from the list, select a column.

  10. To make the column read-only, click Settings and, in the Column settings dialog, turn on the Read-only switch and click Save.

    Tip

    This applies to display-only or layout-related members that do not support inline editing, such as those controlling label position, section borders, visual grouping, or rich text formatting.

  11. Alternatively, to configure member-specific options, click Settings and, in the Column settings dialog, fill in the following fields:

    Field name

    Description

    Read-only

    Makes the column read-only.

    Number of displayed items

    The number of items displayed. If there are more items than the number displayed, an indicator will show how many more are available. For example, if three items are displayed and there are five in total, the indicator shows +2 next to the displayed items.

    Allowed selection level

    For hierarchical relation editors, this determines which levels of the hierarchy users can select a value from. It can be set to one of the following:

    • All - users can select a value from any level of the hierarchy. This is the default behavior.

    • At least second level - users cannot select a top-level value.

    • Lowest level - users can only select lowest-tier values that have no children.

    Select all

    Displays a Select all button in the relation editor.

    Manual sorting

    Adds the Drag icon to related items when in Edit mode, so you can move items to change the order in which they appear.

    Create entities on the fly

    Adds a Create new button to the relation editor modal when a creation details page is configured. This lets you create and add a new entity to the relation editor.

    Search configuration

    If a Search component configured to use the relation editor exists on the same page, items in the relation editor will be filtered based on the Search component settings.

    Filters

    Lets you add entity detail filters to filter content by the entity relation.

    Tip

    This applies to members that support inline editing, which includes properties and relations with selectable values, such as dropdowns, Booleans, tags, dates, and single/multi-select taxonomies.

  12. To add additional columns, repeat steps 9 to 11.

  13. Click Save.
