Bulk Action
Also called: Bulk actions, Batch operations, Multi-select actions
Check several items first, then delete, export, or change the status of all of them at once, instead of handling them one by one.
In detail
Bulk actions usually have three parts: a checkbox at the start of each row, a "select all" checkbox in the header, and a bulk action bar that appears once something is selected. The bar shows "3 selected" and the available actions (Delete, Export, Move to…). It usually sits above the table, or floats up from the bottom of the page.
Details to spell out: does select all pick only the current page or all the data; do earlier selections stay when you change pages; the header checkbox shows an indeterminate state when only some rows are selected; risky bulk actions like delete need a confirmation; show the result when done ("8 succeeded, 2 failed").
When nothing is selected, hide or disable the bulk action buttons.
