Massactiontype

Massactiontype is a conceptual construct used in user interface frameworks and admin systems to describe a configurable bulk operation that can be applied to multiple items in a collection. It defines the action's identity, how it is presented to users, and how the system executes the action on selected items. In practice, a massactiontype is often implemented as a reusable component or data object that pairs a user-facing label with a backend handler or route.

A typical massactiontype includes fields such as an identifier or key, a label, a handler reference (function or route) that performs the operation, a permission requirement, whether the action requires prior selection, whether a confirmation prompt is shown, and optional batch size or concurrency controls. Some implementations also include success or error messages and audit metadata.

When a user selects one or more items and chooses a massactiontype, the system validates permissions, collects item identifiers, and executes the handler either synchronously or via a batch or queue process. The user interface usually provides feedback, and long-running actions may be processed asynchronously with status updates.

Key design considerations include security and access control, ensuring idempotency and proper error handling, preserving transaction boundaries, and supporting localization. Accessibility and predictable behavior are important because bulk actions affect multiple items at once.

Common examples include bulk delete, bulk publish, or mass assignment of a tag. Massactiontype is related to broader concepts such as bulk actions, batch processing, and workflow actions, and is commonly used in administrative dashboards, content management systems, and data-management tools.
