Is there a way to search multiple records and open multiple records with one button/click?

Hi there,  I am wondering is there a way to search multiple records and open multiple records windows with one button/click? Thank you.  I am asking this because a colleague needs to update some...

Hi Mark, 

Thank you so much! I finally figure it out today! This is exactly what I need. It will help a lot in our daily usage by saving many clicks. Thanks! 

A follow up question is, if I check and choose multiple records, is there a native way to open multiple record windows in Quickbase? Like we can open multiple PDF file windows at one click.

HI Ning

I am in same situation as you. I don't have IT background. 

Are you able to break it down in steps for me.
I also want to search multiple records under one Common heading at same time.
I would really appreciate your help.

    HI Mark

    Thanks for your response.
    My situation is that i have 30 K orders and each order is identified by Term "DPO". Then further each DPO has 60 different fields like address, customer information etc.
    This information is pulled directly from salesforce as i have connected the table with salesforce account.

    Now my challenge is that i have to edit multiple DPO's at same time for instance i need to mark there status as scheduled, but when i go into report i see all 30 k DPO's and they are staggered . So i have to manually search each DPO and change its status to Scheduled / completed . I am looking for a way to serach all 20- 30 or whatever no, to edit them in grid view at sametime by changing 1st DPO manually and then selecting all other s and using Ctrl+D.

    I hope the description paints a better picture.

    So are you looking to type or paste in say 20 DPO numbers at one time. 


    If so please follow my instructions and let me know where you got stuck.
