I recently stumbled upon the idea of implementing bulk edit and delete functionalities in our system, and I must say, it’s a game-changer! Imagine being able to manage multiple devices or apps with just a few clicks—what a time-saver that would be!
For instance, last night, I found myself in a situation where I needed to switch several virtual presence devices to a different driver. Without bulk edit, it was a tedious process, requiring multiple clicks and page loads for each device. But if bulk edit were an option, I could have edited all five devices in a fraction of the time, reducing clicks from 35 to just 12! That’s a massive efficiency boost.
Similarly, I had to clean up nine zigbee bulbs that were duplicated due to a hub switch. Manually deleting each one was frustrating, but with bulk delete, it would have been a breeze—just a few clicks and done. It’s clear that these features could significantly streamline our workflows.
While I understand that implementing such features isn’t trivial, I’m hopeful that they could be considered for future updates. They’d undoubtedly enhance user experience and save everyone a lot of time. Let’s keep the conversation going and explore how we can make this a reality!
To visualize how this could work, imagine selecting multiple devices and seeing only the common settings. Then, with a few clicks, you could update them all or delete them en masse. It’s a feature that would make managing devices much more efficient and less error-prone.
I’m eager to hear others’ thoughts on this and any potential solutions or workarounds that might be available in the meantime. Let’s keep pushing for smarter, more efficient tools!
Cheers to smarter automation!
