Bulk Actions

Bulk Actions provide powerful controls for managing multiple items simultaneously across Printago. Manage multiple printers, print jobs, parts, or SKUs simultaneously.

Understanding the Interface​

The Bulk Actions control appears in the top-right corner (top on mobile) of screens that support multi-selection:

  1. Initially shows as a disabled actions button button.
  2. When you select items, the button enables and updates its text add part 1
  3. Clicking reveals a context-aware menu of actions available for your selected items

Different screens offer different bulk operations - for example, selecting multiple printers gives you printer-specific actions, while selecting print jobs provides queue management options.

Selection Patterns​

Printago supports several ways to select items:

  • Individual Selection: Click checkboxes next to items you want to affect
  • Range Selection: Select an item, hold Shift, then select another item to select everything between
  • Select All: Use the checkbox in the table header to select all items matching your current filters
  • Filter Before Selection: Use Search and Filters to limit items, then use Select All to capture the filtered items
  • Mixed Selection: Combine methods - for example, select all, then uncheck specific items
multi select
