Batch Actions in Live Data

[vmassol]

@tkrieck

This proposal complements mine. The one about LD in Cristal is more about the generic mechanisms that I am proposing LD to have. This one deals more with what happens after someone selected multiple entries, move and delete.

When talking to @amilica we made sure that both proposals have the same way of selecting multiple objects (but I still need to update mine to get the correct L&F of the selected row, as proposed here).

ok cool but I remember discussions there that I don’t see mentioned here. For example:

@tkrieck

The Action button

This button appears at the beginning of each line and serves to group all actions that affect the item being highlighted

So does this mean we would have both the chexkbox + the kebab in front of each row for tables that allow batch actions? Seems a bit weird to me. Hence my comment and proposal above to merge the 2 concepts.

Also another question: I dont feel that tables that support batch actions should display checkboxes in front of each row, as this makes the tables heavy. As I mentioned in your proposal, we need to be able to have very lightweight UI for LD (similar to a normal static table). So I believe we need a mechanism to activate the selection of rows (and thus the appearance of the checkboxes). This could be located in the toolbar or appear when hovering over the table.
