In TYPO3, the List module allows you to view and edit multiple records at the same time. Here’s how you can use bulk editing:
- Column selection:
- Click the ‘Show Columns’ button to select the columns to be displayed.
- Select the desired fields, for example the ‘Type’ field, and click ‘Update’.
- The “Type” field will now be displayed in a new column to the right of the record list.
- Switch to single record mode:
- To enable bulk editing, switch to single record mode by clicking on the table header.
- Editing all headers:
- To edit the headers of all records at once, select the pencil icon next to the “Header” label.
- After clicking the pencil icon, you can make the changes. These changes will be applied to all records when you save.
- Editing all visible fields:
- To edit all currently visible fields at the same time, select the corresponding icon for bulk editing.
- The result is a form containing the additional fields such as ‘Type’. Any changes you make here will be applied to all visible records.
- Editing selected fields of selected records:
- If the extended clipboard is enabled in multi-select mode, you can select only the records to be edited.
- Select the records you wish to edit and make the desired changes.
These bulk editing features are particularly useful for efficiently updating many records at once without having to edit each record individually.
