That sounds great, Chris. I had pretty much the same concept for multi-selection as you, so I can take what you write and expand on it.

However, this is something that we could really use in our integrations targeted for 4.3. I have some spare cycles planned for contributing to CloudStack while working on our integrations if you're interested in talking more either online or off about your plans for implementation. I know I'm not as knowledgeable about the UI codebase, but I think I've got an idea about how to put this into listview.js with minimal impact and make it generic/reusable from the start. If I began working on it, I could test it against the list views that we would want to see it on within our plugin and work more closely with you when you have the bandwidth. -Chris On Aug 6, 2013, at 2:24 PM, Brian Federle <brian.fede...@citrix.com<mailto:brian.fede...@citrix.com>> wrote: Hey Chris, I've actually created a ticket for this, which I'm planning to implement in a future release (hopefully the next one if I have the bandwidth). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1579 This will require a good deal of refactoring of existing code to support though, so to start it will probably be implemented on 1-2 sections; most likely instances and events/alerts which is where it is requested the most. -Brian From: SuichII, Christopher [mailto:chris.su...@netapp.com<http://netapp.com>] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 10:57 AM To: <dev@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:dev@cloudstack.apache.org>> Subject: [DISCUSS] Selectable UI list view rows One feature I'd like to look in to is allowing list views to have 'selectable' rows. With this, users could check individual rows of a list view to perform some action on a subset of the list. When one or more row is selected, the list of actions at the top of the list view would be filtered to only those which can be performed on the selected rows. Additionally, there would be a checkbox in the header of the list view which would allow the user to quickly select/unselect all items in the list. Maybe a quick mockup will help make this more clear: Any thoughts, concerns, feedback or existing plans for something like this? Thanks, Chris
