Tue, 20 Jul 2021 12:37:24 +0000

Is it possible to implement the "mass update" functionality in the result of a query? (Efficy 11.2)
If yes, has someone an example ?

mass delete based on query results

Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:41:45 +0000

In efficy you can do mass-updates but I'm looking for the way to do a mass-delete based on a query. Does anyone know how/where this can be done?
e.g. I would like to delete all deceased contacts at once ;-)

Mass update options

Wed, 06 Jan 2016 15:05:52 +0000

When adding users through mass update, there are 4 options.
add : adds the link to the chosen user
add & remove: adds the link with the chosen user and deletes the other user links
add & deactivate: adds the link with the chosen user and deactivates, but doesn't erase the link with the other users

and add & update. I've tested to see what this does, but it's not clear, can anyone clear this up for me?

Mass Update - Being able to change the Owner

Fri, 24 Jul 2015 11:31:33 +0000

Hello,

A partner need to be able to change the owner of multiple records with the Mass Update (not available by default).

Here is what I'm about to send him :

In MacroGridtoolsCustom.txt :

MUShowFieldList {[
<select id="muFieldName" name="FieldName" class="tiny">
    <%Delay(1)%>SelectUpdateField(<%Onargument("Detail", then=|Entity="<%GetArgument('Entity')%>"|, else=|Entity="<%GetArgument('Detail')%>", Detail="<%GetArgument('Entity')%>"|)%>)%>
    <optgroup label="CUSTOM">
    <option id='customOwner' value="K_USER" data-table="<%Delay(1)%>OnArgument(ArgValue='<%Onargument("Detail", then=|<%GetArgument('Entity')%>|, else=|<%GetArgument('Detail')%>|)%>', condition='case', Cont='CONTACTS', Comp='COMPANIES', Publ='PUBLICATIONS', Acti='ACTIONS', Task='ACTIONS', Proj='PROJECTS', Docu='DOCUMENTS', Mail='MAILS', Case='CASES',  Oppo='OPPORTUNITIES', Prof='PROFILES', Quer='QUERYVIEWS', Repo='REPORTS', Prod='PRODUCTS', Objv='OBJECTIVES' else='EntiteNonPrevue')%>">Owner</option>
</select>

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Add users allowed to change Owners in the Array
    var allowedUsers = Array(1,2,3);

    if (allowedUsers.indexOf(<%GetUserKey%>) == -1){
        $('#customOwner').remove();
    }
</script>
]}

This works, but I'm obliged here to manage the access rights in JavaScript, which I dislike (even if the update is managed by efficy, so unauthorized users that will eventually see the fields won't be able to update the records if they don't have the rights in Efficy).

How to do it in the Macros? Am I obliged to override js/misc/massupdate.js to verify the owner, and eventually change the call if the owner is authorized? like :

dialog?_macrofile=MacroGridTools.txt&_macro=MUShowFieldList&entity={entity}&authorized=True

So after that I can do an OnArgument on MacroGridtoolsCustom.txt ? Is there a way to manage access rights in Macros (like OnUserKey or something)? Or can I send a parameters to the macro MUShowFieldList using an other method?

Thanks in advance =)
