Selecting Bulk Action for Related Content Service Definitions

When you define certain types of related content services, you can select whether they should be performed as a bulk action on multiple rows of data when configured as a related action.

The bulk action option is available for the following service types:

• Application class

• PeopleSoft script

• PeopleSoft component

When you select the Bulk Action check box, only the supported service types are displayed in the URL Type drop down.

Note:

If you select a service type that is not supported by the Bulk Action option, and then select the Bulk Action check box, a message displays that the selected service type is not supported. When you click OK, the Bulk Action check box is no longer selected.

Component-Level Related Actions

At the component level, you can associate a bulk action with a service. The Look Up Service ID page and the Configure Service page reflect the selection of a bulk action.

Page-Level Related Actions

At the page level, a bulk action is available for a service that is linked to the related action widget. A bulk action is not available for a glyph. The Related Action Look Up page and the Configure Service page reflect the selection of bulk action.

Note:

If a bulk action is mapped to a glyph field, the related action is applicable for a single row of data; not multiple rows.
