# Attributes Batch Actions

Batch action is a function that allows you to perform mass editing, translating or deleting of attributes.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can cancel the batch action when running. Read [here](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/products/catalog/batch-actions#canceling-the-batch-action) to find out how.
{% endhint %}

To use this function, you need to:

* **Select one or more attributes** from the table by ticking the box next to each attribute in the first column. You can also use the drop-down list marked with a small arrow next to the checkbox in the table header to **Select all**, **Select page**, **Deselect all** or **Deselect page**.

<figure><img src="https://171427267-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FM9BbYBbDPiJapb75xJ2k%2Fuploads%2FtpRgX6SGTKh6Mc2qD1lF%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=3ab7f6f4-8926-429b-a986-81e8111090b3" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Choose an option** from the bar above the table. Once attributes are selected, it shows the number of selected attributes and the buttons **Edit group**, **Translate attribute names** and **Delete**. To clear the selection, click on the ***X*** icon next to the number of selected attributes.

### Edit group

* If you choose **Edit group**, you can assign all selected attributes to an existing attribute group. A new window will appear with a **Group** drop-down list of all attribute groups in the system, a button **Change group**, and a button **Cancel**. Click on **Change group** to confirm the assignment, or **Cancel** to abort the action. A confirmation window will appear: click on **Start batch action** to start, or **Cancel** to abort. To create a new group from here, click on **Add new group** in the drop-down list, type its code and click on the ***green check*** icon to save. The new group shows in the list with a ***#*** before its code until it has a name. To add a name, point at the group and click on the ***Translate*** icon that shows up. You can't delete a group here: do it in [Attribute groups](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/product-design/attribute-groups). Use the **Search...** field at the top of the list to find a group, and **Clear** to empty the field.

### Translate attribute names

**Language Access:**

* **Translate from**: Only languages the user has **READ** access to.
* **Translate to**: Only languages the user has **WRITE** access to.

Choose a language in **Translate from** and the languages in **Translate to**, select the **AI Model** and click on the **Translate** button to continue. The language chosen in **Translate from** is greyed out in **Translate to**. To close the window without translating, click on the ***X*** icon in its header.

You can also switch on **Add custom prompt** to give the AI more instructions in the **Prompt** field. The multiplier next to each model's name (x1, x2, x20) shows how many AI credits it uses compared to a x1 model. The **Translate** button shows the estimated number of AI credits the action uses.

A confirmation window will appear. Click on **Start batch action** to start the translation, or **Cancel** to abort the action.

### Delete attributes

* If you choose **Delete**, you can permanently remove all selected attributes from the system. A confirmation window will appear with a button **Start batch action**, and a button **Cancel**. Click on **Start batch action** to confirm the deletion, or **Cancel** to abort the action.

### After the batch action

* **Wait for the batch action** to complete in the background. You will receive a notification in the [Action center](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/dashboard/dashboard/user-menu-and-action-center/action-center) when the job is finished.

<figure><img src="https://171427267-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FM9BbYBbDPiJapb75xJ2k%2Fuploads%2FV7AaRr6cHm4sZc6xmN0d%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=00068b32-6032-41fb-a1e7-1dd7ee9b3771" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can also click on the ***three dots*** menu next to the notification and select **See details** to view more information about the batch action.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://usermanual.ergonode.com/product-design/attributes/attributes-batch-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
