Lists, search, and bulk actions

Search, filter, sort, and page through Envoy resource lists, use row action menus, and select rows for bulk actions.

Lists, search, and bulk actions

Envoy's resource lists — Tasks, Jobs, Runs, Connectors, Triggers, Users, AI References, and others — share one set of behaviors: server-side search, filters, sortable columns, cursor-based paging, a per-row action menu, and (on some lists) row selection with bulk actions. This page describes those shared behaviors once; the per-screen pages cover what each list contains.

Search and filters

Every list has a toolbar with a search field (for example Search tasks...) and, where relevant, dropdown filters such as Status or Role. Search runs on the server against that resource's searchable columns, so it matches rows beyond the loaded page. The right side of the toolbar shows the total result count.

  • Typing in the search field refetches after a short pause; the X button clears it.
  • A filter dropdown always includes an "all" option (for example All statuses) to remove that filter.
  • When filters produce no rows, the empty state offers Clear filters.

Search, filters, and sort are stored in the page URL, so a filtered view survives refreshes and can be shared as a link.

Sorting

Sortable column headers show an arrow on hover. Selecting a header sorts by that column ascending; selecting it again flips to descending. Sorting applies to the whole server-side result set, not only the loaded rows.

Pagination

Lists load one page at a time (50 rows by default; the server caps a page at 200). When more rows match, a Load more button appears at the bottom with a Showing X of Y counter, and each click appends the next page using a server cursor.

Row actions

The ⋯ button at the end of a row opens that resource's action menu — for example Edit, Duplicate, Export, Archive or Restore, and a destructive action such as Delete permanently separated at the bottom. Destructive actions always open a confirmation dialog first. Actions you lack permission for are hidden; viewers see no action column on mutation-gated lists.

Selection and bulk actions

On lists that support bulk actions, a checkbox column appears for users who can mutate. Checking rows replaces the toolbar with a bar showing N selected, a Clear link, and the available bulk action buttons.

Selection has two scopes:

  • Page — the rows you explicitly checked. The header checkbox selects everything currently loaded.
  • All matching — when the whole page is selected and more rows match the current search and filters, the bar offers Select all N matching. The bulk action then applies to every server-side match, including rows not loaded on screen.

Changing the search, filter, or sort clears the selection, so the scope always reflects the query you can see.

Worked example: export tasks in bulk

  1. Open Tasks and set the Status filter to Archived (or enter a search term) to narrow the list.
  2. Check the header checkbox to select the loaded page. If more tasks match, select Select all N matching in the bar below.
  3. Select Export in the bulk bar. Envoy downloads the selected task definitions as an .ndjson bundle and clears the selection.

The same bundle export is available per row (⋯ → Export) — row and bulk actions on a list always do the same thing at different scales.
