Documentation

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
