Multiple Actions for Ownerless Objects

1 Initial Problem

It is not possible to delete several Ownerless Objects in administration >> Systemcheck.

Users must manually delete each object individually using the action menu.

This is very time-consuming and frustrating.

2 Conceptual Summary

Users should be able to select multiple objects via checkboxes in front of the object titles and then select option delete via a dropdown above the table.
To further simplify working with this table, the dropdown menu might contain the following entries in addition to Delete.

• Move
• Export
• Change Owner

3 User Interface Modifications

4 Technical Information

5 Privacy Information

9 Discussion

Meyer, Stefan [smeyer] : I support this request. I suggest to introduce multiple actions for the commands:

• Move
• Change Owner
• Delete

Support for Export of multiple objects would be difficult to implement, since the current implementation only redirects to the export tab, which starts the export workflow with further export options. E.g Different export formats, subitem selection for the export of containers.

Additionally I suggest to implement the following changes:

• Add additional column "Creation Date"
• Add fiter by "Name" and "Creation Date"
• Add "Description" to title column
• Make "Title" "clickable"
• Show "Full Path" and make path "Clickable". Remove column path and show path below title/description

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 16 MAR 2020 : We highly appreciate this suggestion with the changes suggested by the maintainer and accept it for ILIAS 7. Please complete the sections for privacy and security issues afterwards.
