Open many collection objects all at once

[tmcelrath]

Feature or enhancement

When I am in Filter CO.
And I want to clean data in TW
Then I want to search for a set of objects
Then I want to open ALL of those objects in different tabs.
Otherwise, I have to click twice (Radial CO, then Comprehensive) to open every single thing that needs edited.

Location

Filter CO

Screenshot, napkin sketch of interface, or conceptual description

Need an addition somewhere in radials to "Batch Open". NOT batch edit, because every object is different in this case, and I need to open every one.

Your role

Collection manager

Yes, I asked for the same for filter nomenclature and filter sources...

Checking to see if this is permitted in code, I suspect it's not. Imagine visiting a website and allowing them to open millions of tabs.

[tmcelrath]

Alternative is being able to create a "set" of objects and pin it - which can then be browsed with "next" and "previous" in Browse or Edit tasks.

Well, you can easily tag sets. IIRC we had something we experimented with that if the Tag Keyword is preferred you had the option to navigate with it.

No, this is 100% doable if the user enables "popups and redirects" in their browser's site settings for sfg.taxonworks.org (or sandbox domain).

You can run window.open(url, '_blank') in a loop—every call will open a new tab.

You could probably implement a "batch navigation radial" next to Radial Filter and the other radials in the top right.

@jlpereira Maybe we cap this at 25 for now?

[tmcelrath]

Would prefer at least 50.

@jlpereira likely need to pause between records.
