Views, bulk editing and archive

A table saves its filters and sort as views, changes many records at once and archives the ones no longer in use, without losing them.

Views

View picks one of the saved views, or All records.
Save as view saves the current filters and sort under a name; Update view saves the changes over the view picked.
Open with this view makes the table open with it for everyone.
Archive view takes it off the list; it's restored from Archived views.
A filter with Me shows each person their own: one "My open items" view serves the whole team.
Only the application's owner, or a guest who can edit pages, saves, renames or archives views; everyone else uses them.

Check the rows, or Select this page. With filters, also Select the N matching, up to 500.
Set value puts the same value in a field of every one; left empty, it clears it. It works for text, numbers, dates, choices, checkboxes, users and relations holding one value.
Change state moves them along the transitions: one that can't move stays where it is, and one needing approval asks for it.
Each record changes on its own: it's told in its history and its automations run. A summary then says how many changed, how many already had that value and which couldn't change, and why.

Archive takes the records out of tables, boards, backlogs, dashboards, calendars, searches and totals. Their history is kept.
Show archived shows only the archived ones, to restore them.
An archived record opens but can't be edited until Restore record; the relations pointing at it still name it.
Archiving and restoring are told in the record's history.
