Perform Bulk Execution via a Public WebApp Event

Bulk Execution can be invoked via a Public WebApp Event on a custom designed page, which allows a developer to provide a mechanism of implicit validation. A user will not have to access each page individually and use the Bulk Execution panel.

Bulk Execution is executed on the targeted page with the associated event with environment criteria as defined by the optional parameters.

Note

The page-level OnValidate event must have been written before Bulk Execution can be configured for it.

1. Navigate to the page where the Public WebApp Event is to be used.

2. Click Design Page > Design.

3. Select a page and click the Events icon.
