DEH:

The Bulk Editor is designed to display and edit the [[BaseProperty|properties]] of a multiple {{UBIK}} objects. Technically, it reads the [[MetaProperty]] definition of each [[Instance|instance]] of the context object (directly from the context object if it is of type [[MetaClass]], otherwise it gets the MetaClass of the context object and reads the definition from its instances.

| imagecaption = Bulk Editor control
| purpose = Display and edit multiple objects
| context = MetaClass

}}

==Basics==

===Appearance===
====Rows and columns====
The control reads the current context object and displays a row for each instance of it and a column for each found property (since 3.7.0 a set of preconfigured columns are hidden by default and the instances are sorted by default by CreationTimeStamp), its appearance depending on the respective data type of the [[MetaProperty]]. The following data types and thus different columns and editing controls are currently supported:

{| class="wikitable" | width = "50%"
|-
! Data type!! Example !! Comment
|- align="left"
| Bool || [[File:UI_BulkEditor_Bool.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#Boolean|boolean]] value to be read/set via a Checkbox
|- align="left"
| DateTime || [[File:UI_BulkEditor_DateTime.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#Date Time|Date/Time]] value where the format is according to regional settings; a double click opens a dialog to pick a date from a calendar
|- align="left"
| Double || - || A [[MetaProperty#Floating Point|floating point]] value, optionally with [[Unit|unit of measurement]]
|- align="left"
| FileReference|| [[File:UI_BulkEditor_File.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#File Reference|path to a physical file]]; a double click opens a dialog to pick a file from the file system
|- align="left"
| GeoData || [[File:UI_BulkEditor_GEO.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#Geographical Coordinate|geographical coordinate]]; a double click opens a dialog to enter the values separately
|- align="left"
| Guid|| [[File:UI_BulkEditor_GUID.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#Guid|pointer]] to another object
|- align="left"
| Reference|| [[File:UI_BulkEditor_Reference.png|300px]] || A [[MetaProperty#Reference|reference]] to another object; a double click opens a picker to select the target object
|- align="left"
| Int|| - || A [[MetaProperty#Integer|discrete]] number
|- align="left"
| String|| - || A [[MetaProperty#Text|text]] value
|}

====Selective lists====
If a certain property has a [[SELECTIVELIST|selective list]] defined, the respective column will display a Combobox with all items of the list instead of the value field. The value can then only be selected from the list, but not be edited manually anymore.

====Index values====
If a certain property has [[Index value|index values]] defined, the respective column will be colored <span style="background:LightSalmon;">LightSalmon</span> and become expandable. Expanding/collapsing can be done by either right clicking the column header or using the expand/collapse button in the Toolbar. When expanding, the editing column will multiply itself by the number of index values and present an own <span style="background:LightYellow;">LightYellow</span> column for each index value.

{{Hint|A multilanguage MetaProperty is actually a string property with index values defined for each system language!}}

====Captions====
* each column shows the string representation of the respective MetaProperty as its header text
* the first column of each row is always titled ''_RowObject'' and shows the string representation of the corresponding instance

====Tooltips====
There are two kinds of Tooltips used in this control:
* when hovering over the header of column, a Tooltip will show the type of the column
* when hovering over a cell which's text is deprecated, a Tooltip will show the full text

===Editing===
When editing a value, it will only be written back to the respective property when you leave the cell. At that very point in time, the Bulk Editor also runs an integrity check against the [[Rule|rules]] and tests if the value you've entered can be stored on the property. If this fails, the row and cell will show a red exclamation mark with a Tooltip telling which rule was violated. The exclamation mark on the cell disappears once you've entered a valid value for this property, the exclamation mark on the row only disappears if all properties of the respective {{UBIK}} object have a valid value. If a warning range is defined in the validation, an exclamation mark on yellow background will be shown to inform the user about a value that has to be paid special attention to. However, values showing the warning sign are accepted as a valid input.

{{Hint| While editing a value, you can use {{key press|ESC}} to undo your editing!}}
{{Hint| To improve performance, cells containing huge XML data are shortened by only showing the starting characters of the code. When the XML cell is marked or clicked for editing, the full text will be loaded. Please be aware that this can be a time consuming task!}}

===Drag & Drop===
The Object Editor control is a source and a target for Drag&Drop operations:

* Any object can be dropped on a cell if the dragged object matches the data type of the respective property
* A single instance object can be dragged from the Bulk Edito by dragging the header of the row
* Objects stored in a cell can be dragged using the right mouse button

==Toolbar==
[[File:UI_BulkEditor_Toolbar.png|thumb|200px|Bulk Editor Toolbar]]
The Bulk Editor features a Toolbar with the following items from left to right:

{| class="wikitable" | width = "50%"
|-
! Item !! Purpose
|- align="left"
| View Style || Indicates or changes the [[#View Style|View Style]] of the control; changing it will result in reloading of the control
|- align="left"
| Navigate to context object || Attempts to [[Navigation|navigate]] to the current context object
|- align="left"
| Save || Saves all instances currently shown in the control
|- align="left"
| Filter namespace || Filters all current instances by the [[Namespace|namespace]] of the set context object
|- align="left"
| Select columns|| Opens a sub menu with all displayed columns and allows to show/hide them explicitly
|- align="left"
| Expand/Collapse index columns|| Allows to show or hide the [[Bulk Editor#Index values|index columns]] if the currently selected column has index values
|- align="left"
| UID || Shows or hides the UID column
|- align="left"
| Print || No functionality yet
|- align="left"
| Cut || Cuts the value of the current cell into the clipboard
|- align="left"
| Copy || Copies the value of the current cell into the clipboard
|- align="left"
| Paste || Pastes the value from the clipboard into the current cell
|- align="left"
| Move to first object|| Selects the first row
|- align="left"
| Move to previous object|| Selects the previous row
|- align="left"
| Current object|| Shows or sets the current row; enter a value and press {{key press|Enter}} to select a specific row
|- align="left"
| Move to next object|| Selects the next row
|- align="left"
| Move to last object|| Selects the last row
|- align="left"
| Delete || Allows to delete all selected rows
|}

==Context menu==
Right clicking on a cell that stores a {{UBIK}} object will bring up the standard [[Navigation|navigation]] context menu. In addition, cells of type GUID or Reference will show a Remove menu item, where clicking it will set the value of the cell to null.

==View Styles==
The Object Editor has only one view style at the moment.

This classification is used to check whether objects should be cached or not.

The following things are checked:
* the environment is not currently being initialized
* it is not a SystemObject
* the MetaClass of the object is not a SystemObject
* the classification is not on the object
