Bulk actions

In the Explore tab, actions that you can normally perform on individual items or instances can be done in bulk. This means that you can select multiple items that you can choose to apply the same action to, such as status changes, tags, and more. There are some limitations to some of the actions based on which view or project type you are in, as listed below.

Run model

You can run a connected model on a number of items.

To run a model:

  1. In Explore, select one or multiple items.
  2. Select a connected model from the dropdown.
  3. Depending on what is applicable to your selected model, you may indicate its:
    • Temperature - a slider to define how precise or creative its response should be. Lowering the temperature results in less random completions. As the temperature approaches zero, the model will become deterministic and repetitive.
    • Reasoning effort - Minimal, Low, Medium, or High. Reducing reasoning effort can result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning in a response. Increasing reasoning effort can result in slower, but higher quality responses, using more tokens.
    • Verbosity - Low, Medium, or High. Lower levels yield shorter answers.
  4. Under Output component, select a component from the form that will serve as the model’s output and display the answer completion in full.
  5. Under Prompt, enter the prompt you want to give the model. Include the value of a component you want to use in the prompt. If done through the Add variable button, it’ll be added automatically. If done manually, then format it in the prompt as follows: {component_ID}
  6. Click Run Model.
🚧

Output components

  • The Output component dropdown list will display all of the following component types: Text Input, Text Area, Markdown, Code, Paragraph, Number, Slider, Rating, Voting, and Web component.
  • Components that are either contained within a Group component or excluded from export won’t be visible.
  • If the generated response is in a value type that doesn’t correspond to the output component, the response can be set as null.
📘

After running the model

If you decide to stop the model from generating a response, you may click Stop Generation at the bottom of the screen while it’s still in progress. You’ll get a pop-up where you’ll have to confirm your decision.
