Perform action on filtered view

[Roland_W]

I want to give users the ability to perform an action on visible rows in a view. 

In other words, I have a view that contains hundreds of records. Users filter by Request Date.  For the filtered and visible records, I want the user to be able to generate a file for each record. 

I know how to generate a file based off of a template, but I'm not sure how to allow the user to initiate the process.  How can I perform an action on user-filtered records?

Using the built-in filtering feature, the user would have to select all of the rows individually and then perform an action on all selected rows. There is no select-all option, nor is there a way to apply an action to all filtered rows.

Alternatively, you can implement your own filtering feature that includes a way to perform an action on all filtered rows.

Thank you - I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something, such as a "select-all"
