Bulk Actions
Many list pages in OTS Signs support bulk actions, but the available actions vary by page. Select multiple rows and a bulk action bar appears with operations that apply to the selected rows.
Selecting rows
Section titled “Selecting rows”| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Select one row | Click the checkbox at the start of the row |
| Select all rows on the page | Click the checkbox in the table header |
| Select a range | Click a row’s checkbox, then Shift+click another |
| Clear the selection | Click any selected checkbox again, or click Cancel in the bulk action bar |
The header checkbox only selects rows on the current page. To select more, page through and continue selecting, or filter the list down first.
The bulk action bar
Section titled “The bulk action bar”When at least one row is selected, a bar appears at the bottom of the page showing:
- The selection count (e.g. 5 selected).
- Action buttons — the set depends on the page (see below).
- Cancel — clears the selection without doing anything.
Bulk operations always confirm before running, and destructive ones (delete, unassign) require a second confirmation.
Available actions per page
Section titled “Available actions per page”The exact list depends on the page and your permissions. Current common actions:
Library (Media)
Section titled “Library (Media)”- Tag N items — apply tags to every selected file.
- Delete N — delete selected files.
- In Purge List view: Restore N and Delete Permanently.
Layouts
Section titled “Layouts”- Tag N layouts — apply tags via the tag picker.
- Delete N — delete selected layouts.
Playlists
Section titled “Playlists”- Tag N playlists — apply tags via the tag picker.
- Delete N — delete selected playlists.
Campaigns, Schedules, Time Windows, Datasets, Actions, Display Groups, Sync Groups
Section titled “Campaigns, Schedules, Time Windows, Datasets, Actions, Display Groups, Sync Groups”- Delete — delete the selected rows, with confirmation.
Displays
Section titled “Displays”Displays currently use row-level actions such as authorize, edit, move to folder, and player commands. They do not expose a bulk action bar in the current UI.
What happens if some rows can’t be changed?
Section titled “What happens if some rows can’t be changed?”If your selection includes rows you do not have permission to modify, or rows that cannot be changed, the operation reports failures after it runs. Some bulk deletes can partially succeed; review the result toast before assuming every selected row changed.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- The header checkbox selects rows on the current page only.
- Tag operations are immediate.
- Deletes are permanent; there is no undo. See page-specific docs for extra warnings.
