Edit Submissions page

This module lets you edit multiple submissions in one go, rather than have to click from page to page. With this module, submissions are presented in a table format - each row a separate submission. Because this can create extremely wide tables - wider than can fit on most screens - the module provides the option of displaying the content in a resizable, scrollable popup window.

This module requires version 2.0.0-beta-20090518 or later of the Core: template hooks were added in that version that allow this module to embed the "Mass Edit" button into the Form Tools UI.

Features

• Option to control the number of submissions that appear for editing on each page.
• Automatically maps to the current View and search so that the submissions being edited show the same sort order, fields and whether they are editable and even displayed.
• Works for both administrator and client accounts.
• Multi-language friendly. All labels (buttons and text) are pulled from language files or from configurable settings.
• Comes with option to switch tab index direction on the table. Depending on your data set, it may make more sense for the TAB key to move vertically rather than horizontally so you can edit all values in a single field before moving to the next field. (N.B. doesn't currently work in IE6).

The module is pretty straightforward, but the following pages document how it works and what options are available.
