ITAM / Servers

Server Bulk Actions

Set Maintenance on every staging box or archive a batch of decommissioned hosts, without editing rows one by one.

Real-world scenario

Carlos Reyes · IT Admin at Bluewave Labs

Engineering decommissioned four old staging servers after migrating to api.workverge.ai. Carlos filters Inactive + provider Hetzner, selects all matching, and bulk-sets status or archives them before finance's asset audit.

Before you begin

  • ITAM license enabled
  • Admin or asset manager role with bulk permissions

Overview

Bulk actions operate on every server ID that matches your selection, including "all" across filtered results. Carlos uses them for maintenance windows (set Maintenance on a region) and clean-up (archive Inactive hosts nobody owns).

How bulk actions work

  1. 1

    Select servers with row checkboxes

    Pick individual rows, or use the header checkbox to select all on the current page.

  2. 2

    Select all matching filters (optional)

    When filtered, e.g. all Inactive Hetzner hosts, the "select all" option applies to every matching server, not just the visible page.

  3. 3

    Open Bulk Actions from the table toolbar

    Choose Update Status or Delete depending on what you need.

  4. 4

    Confirm in the modal

    Pick the new status (Active, Inactive, Maintenance) or confirm archive for delete.

Available actions

  • Update status. Set Active, Inactive, or Maintenance for all selected servers
  • Delete. Soft-delete (archive) selected servers; they can appear under Archived filters

Select all + filters

Selecting all with filters applied updates hundreds of rows at once, double-check the filter chip bar before confirming. Carlos exports first when the count surprises him.

Example

Maintenance window for api migration

Carlos filters Provider = Hetzner, Type = API, selects all four hosts, and bulk-sets Maintenance at 01:55 UTC. After cutover he filters the same set and sets Active again.

Pair bulk Maintenance with uptime monitoring so alerts stay quiet during planned work.
