Views Bulk Operations (VBO)

Introduction

This module provides the following features that are not available in Drupal core bulk form:

• Batching of operations with configurable batch size ensuring no timeouts.
• Simple and well documented API for creating custom actions.
• Preliminary action configuration on the view admin page or directly in view config yaml.
• Simple and well documented API for creating custom actions.
• End-user configuration form implemented with an action class method instead of workaraounds.
• Confirmation step.
• Selection persistent across all view pages.

Usage

After enabling the module, a new global field named "Views bulk operations" will become available in every view. To enable Views Bulk Operations for the view, just add and configure this field, if the core bulk operations field is enabled (for example Node operations bulk form for the "Content" view), that field needs to be replaced with the Views bulk operations field.

Complementary modules

• Views Bulk Edit provides an action to edit selected entity fields' values.
• VBO export allows exporting of the selected view rows to Excel xlsx or csv.
• Push Notifications allows sending customized Push Notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
• Group Actions that provide useful actions for the Group module.
• Courier UI for sending templated messages with token support to selected users.
• VBO Action Kit that contains additional smaller actions both for site builders and to help developers to find reference code. Contributions and ideas welcome

Actions Permissions

A module called Actions Permissions is included in the package. This module generates a permission for each action, and VBO honors those permissions before showing or executing the corresponding actions. This is useful if you want to provide your VBO to several groups of users with different privileges: the same view will accommodate those different groups, showing to each the actions that they are permitted to see.
