Solved: Re: Bulk Action - go to website/open file

generativegeorg · 05-23-2023 05:18 PM

- I have an action of the "External: go to website" type.
- This action opens a pdf (relevant to the row) in a new browser tab.
- Most of my actions show up when I go to the table and do a bulk action (as shown here: Bulk Action Demo ).

Problem: the "go to website" action only shows on the detail view, so I am unable to make this work.

Question: How can I achieve the intended functionality or something similar?

Hello there @generativegeorg

Your action is a row-specific action, and those won't show up in overlay view such as the "add" action, you need to set that action as an "inline action" and give it a place that is a VISIBLE column in your table, like this:

Of course! derp. That will work.
Thanks!

p.s. Unfortunately, this still isn't quite ideal because
1. You have to hit ctrl to open it without going to the tab (which doesn't work on mobile).
2. If you select the wrong one by accident you don't have a chance to correct.
Just in case... any idea how to solve these problems?

No problem.

1. Well, you made the action to take you there, right? I thought you wanted to go !
