Filtered Actions Overview
before start the Filtered Actions , the user need to know about Global or Scoped
Filtered actions are an extremely powerful and extensible part of the Metaflow architecture.
They may be performed at a global project level or alternatively at a plan/channel level depending
on how/where you
invoke the action as per scoping rules.
The general principles of filtered actions follow the procedure outlined here:
- User selects a number of bundles
- User specifies a filter to further qualify bundles to be affected by action
- User validates the bundles to affect.
- User chooses action to perform on bundles.
Global / Project level
At a global level (in other words the filtered action is invoked from the plan
view), the changes are
applied to all bundles and any plans that they are already associated with it will show the changes.
However, one additional
point to note is that at this level you may also select multiple projects that are visible, and hence
perform actions that affect all projects.
Scoped / Plan/Channel level
If, however, the filtered action is invoked from the plan/channel level then all actions will
be stored in the appropriate deltas for that plan/channel and will not affect either the global project
bundles or any other plan/channel bundles.
