being able to bulk delete data within an imported csv

Hi! I wanted to bulk delete data, but it's only one at a time within this screen. Maybe add selection boxes like within the jobs tab to be able to select multiple data points/bulk select data to delete?

    Good morning!

    Correct more than 5 to 10 data points. Our operators use our machine so we preset the serial numbers ourselves (the CSVs) so we are trying to avoid them having to go in and delete/remake a CSV every time we need a new batch of labels with new serial numbers. The serial numbers on the labels are just in numerical order. It would be easier on our end to have them bulk delete what labels they used in Ruby, so the next person can pick up from where the other left off without having to go into the excel file. We would not need the CSV to change.

    My other idea was that maybe somewhere in the Ruby screen we can select what serial number it starts on for the dynamic data (this would negate the need for bulk deletion).

    How often currently depends on the job, I believe it would be at least twice or more a day. We run about 50-200 labels per job with about 8-10 jobs a day.

    Thank you,

    Good Morning,

    thanks a lot for your input.

    If you don't mind, I'd have some questions to better understand:


    You are talking about bulk deletion, so I guess it is way more than maybe just 5 or 10 data sets you'd like to delete.

    Is it not better then to edit the CSV directly and reload it?

    How often would you need this bulk marking / bulk deletion?

    Would you want to have the CSV file changes as well - means updated with your changes?


    BR
