Executing Actions from Grid View in Pimcore
Starting an action from grid view allows Requestador to be executed for multiple selected objects.
Use this approach when you want to:
-
process several records at once
-
apply the same action to a selected group of objects
-
run a bulk update from the Pimcore list view
Step 1: Open the grid view
In Pimcore, navigate to the class folder or list view that contains the relevant objects.
Open the grid view for the class configured with Requestador.
Step 2: Select the rows
Select one or more rows for which the action should be executed.
Choose records that contain the input values required by the Requestador configuration.
Step 3: Start the action
Use the Start Action option in the grid toolbar.
Choose the appropriate Requestador configuration or action.
Step 4: Execute the action for selected rows
Pimcore sends each selected record through the configured Requestador workflow.
Depending on the setup, execution may happen object by object or through a batched process.
Step 5: Review the results
After execution, confirm that:
-
the selected objects were processed successfully
-
the expected target fields were updated
-
the returned data matches the expected output structure
-
localized values were written correctly where applicable
Typical use cases
Use grid view execution for:
-
bulk description generation
-
batch translation
-
category suggestion for multiple products
-
updating a selected product set after import or content review
Notes
-
grid execution is useful for repeated operational workflows
-
always test the configuration on a single object first before running it on multiple rows
-
ensure the selected rows contain all required source data
