# Apply bulk actions to jobs

Bulk selection allows the same action to be applied to multiple jobs simultaneously.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important note:** Bulk selection is available **only after selecting a job status category** from the tiles at the top of the page. Job and action selection on the **ALL** tile is **not supported**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The actions displayed in the **Action** menu depend on the current status of the selected jobs.&#x20;

A detailed description of actions is on the [Job actions](/data-mover-1.21/jobs/what-is-a-job/job-actions.md) page.
{% endhint %}

To apply an action to the selected jobs:

1. Select one or more jobs using the checkboxes in the job list. The **Selected** counter displays the number of jobs currently selected.&#x20;
2. Open the **Action** drop‑down menu to view the actions available for the selected jobs.
3. Select the action you want to apply.
4. In the **Operation** window, confirm the action by clicking the **Apply** button. &#x20;

In the **Operation** window, for actions that support queue selection (such as **Resume**, **Resubmit**, **Abort and Resubmit**, and **Change queue**), you can assign a **different queue to each item** by selecting the desired queue from the corresponding drop‑down list. In the same window, you can also remove individual items from the action list by clicking the **trash‑bin icon**. Removed items are excluded from the action execution.

After confirmation, the **Report** window appears, listing the actions executed and their execution status for each job. Here, you can optionally select one or more Job IDs and click **Show selected jobs** to run a query limited to the selected jobs. This allows you to open the **⋮**  contextual menu for each job and view [job details](/data-mover-1.21/jobs/manage-jobs/job-details.md), the [workflow instance](/data-mover-1.21/monitoring/jobs/job-monitoring/workflow-instance-option.md) and the [dataflow](/data-watcher-1.21/monitor/dataflow-inquiry.md) in Data Watcher.
