Bulk Action Definitions

Bulk Action Definitions defines the reusable templates that power bulk operations -- naming the target model, the operation and its parameters and guardrails. It lets admins pre-configure safe, repeatable mass actions rather than improvising each time. This control keeps high-impact changes consistent and authorised.

Workflow

Open MFI > Configuration > Tools > Bulk Action Definitions
Click New and name the bulk action
Select the target model and the operation to perform
Set parameters, filters and any safeguards
Save so it appears as an option in Bulk Operations
