Hi everyone! I thought it would be easy, but it is not. I am trying to add a bulk action to a table, but can’t figure out how to do it. Any advise would be highly appreciated! Thank you! ---

Can you elaborate please? What exactly do you mean by bulk action? ---

Yes sure, here is an example from another service. I need to be able to choose several lines(rows) from a table and delete them (chosen or all). Or most importantly I need to be able to choose and Approve all of them at once (see Glide screenshot) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/6/d6f5fed0dd14edf934e7f8323b4b9cf83f061898.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/e/3e4d87f4a2ea6835107e2d46e343f43e51853bbb.jpeg) ---

Okay, two separate use cases there. - Deleting multiple rows at once: create a query or multiple relation that matches all the rows you want to delete, then use a Delete Row action that targets that query/multiple relation. - Updating multiple rows at once: for this you have two options: – Option 1: Use the Glide API – Option 2: Use a server-side workflow with a loop Both of the above options require a paid plan, and server-side workflows require a Business or Enterprise plan. My personal preference is to use the Glide API, as it is much faster than workflow loops. Below is a (quite old) video that demonstrates one way to do it: https://www.loom.com/embed/f2fabf00f6e543b7973e5824b77fbe1f [https://www.loom.com/share/f2fabf00f6e543b7973e5824b77fbe1f](https://www.loom.com/share/f2fabf00f6e543b7973e5824b77fbe1f) ---

Thank you very much, Darren! Much appreciated for this. And do these option give a chance to choose several lines (2 out of 50) and for example Approve them? ---

Yes, you could do that. ---
