# How to perform actions to multiple Processes Bulk actions are useful when the same change needs to be applied to multiple Processes, such as adding tags, activating or deactivating Triggers, deploying Processes to another Agent Group, or viewing the Instance logs of multiple Processes in one place. ## Requirements To perform bulk actions in the Frends Control Panel, the Processes must already exist in the Process List. You also need permissions that allow you to manage or view the selected Processes. For example, editing Processes requires the Editor role or similar permissions through a custom role. ## Select Processes for bulk actions Navigate to **Processes** in the Frends Control Panel. Use the free text search or tag filters to narrow down the list if you only want to work with a specific group of Processes. Filtering is useful especially in Tenants with many Processes. Select the Processes you want to manage by using the checkboxes in the Process List. You can select individual Processes or use the select all option to select all currently visible Processes. After selecting more than one Process, the **Actions** menu above the Process List becomes available.

## Apply a bulk action Open the **Actions** menu after selecting the Processes. The available actions depend on your permissions and the selected Processes, but the bulk actions can include running Processes once, deploying Processes to another Agent Group, activating or deactivating Processes, deleting Processes, tagging Processes, copying Processes, cleaning up old versions, creating or updating Templates, unlinking Processes from Templates, and viewing Process Instance logs for the selected Processes. Choose the action you want to perform and complete any required fields in the dialog that opens. Some actions are applied immediately, while others require additional selections or confirmation before the change is saved.

### View Instance logs for multiple Processes Use the option to view Process Instances when you want to inspect the execution history of several Processes at the same time. After selecting the Processes, open **Actions** and select the option for showing Process Instances. Frends opens the Process Instance list filtered to the selected Processes. This allows you to review their Instance logs in one view instead of opening each Process separately. From the Instance list, you can use the available filters, such as time period and execution state, to narrow down the shown Instances. Select an individual Process Instance from the list to open its detailed Instance view. The detailed view shows the execution path and the logged information for each executed shape, depending on the logging settings of the Process.

### Run selected Processes once Use **Run once** when you want to start the selected Processes manually. If the selected Processes have parameters in their Manual Trigger, Frends prompts you to provide the required values before the Processes are started. If no parameters are needed, the Processes are started directly. ### Deploy selected Processes Use **Deploy Process to Agent Group** when you want to copy the selected Processes to another Agent Group in the same Environment. Select the target Agent Group in the deployment dialog and confirm the deployment. ### Activate or deactivate selected Processes Use **Activate** or **Deactivate** to enable or disable the Triggers of the selected Processes in the currently selected Agent Group. Activating a Process allows its Triggers to start new Process Instances. Deactivating a Process prevents its Triggers from starting new Process Instances. ### Delete selected Processes Use **Delete** when you want to remove the selected Processes. Deleting Processes is a permanent action, so review the selected Processes carefully before confirming the deletion. ### Copy selected Processes Use **Copy** to create duplicates of the selected Processes in the current Environment and Agent Group. The copied Processes can then be edited independently from the original Processes. ### Tag selected Processes Use **Tag** when you want to add or update tags for several Processes at once. Tags help group related Processes, make them easier to find, and support managing access to different Processes. After selecting the Processes, open **Actions** and select **Tag**. In the tag editor, search for existing tags or create a new tag by entering the tag name and selecting the option to create it. When tagging multiple Processes, choose how Frends should apply the selected tags. Use **Add** to add the selected tags without replacing existing tags on the Processes. Use **Overwrite** to replace the existing tags on all selected Processes with only the tags selected in the editor.

Tagging multiple Processes at once gives option to add or overwrite Tags for the selected Processes.

### Export selected Processes to a file Use Export to File when you want to download the selected Processes as a file. This is useful when you want to move Processes to another Tenant, keep a backup, or share Process definitions outside the current Environment. The exported file contains the selected Process definitions in a format that can be imported back to Frends. The export includes the information needed to recreate the Process, such as the Process structure and configuration. After selecting Export to File, Frends creates the export and downloads it through the browser. ### Save selected Process information as CSV Use Save as CSV when you want to export information from the Process List into a CSV file. This does not export the full Process definitions. Instead, it saves the selected Process row information from the list into a tabular format. This is useful when you need a lightweight report of selected Processes, for example for review, documentation, or comparing Process metadata outside Frends. After selecting Save as CSV, Frends creates the CSV file and downloads it through the browser. ### Change Log Settings for selected Processes Use Log Settings when you want to change how execution data is logged for the selected Processes. Log Settings control how much information is stored from Process executions and how long Process Instance history is retained. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
