Not all functionality in Axiell Collections is part of the core software. Application add-on ADAPL procedures for certain bulk operations called "tasks", like printing, can be be edited or created by you. Bulk operations that already have been programmed in ADAPL and are available in model applications include the Change locations task, Permanent ID registration and Create mission items, for example.

These tasks are set up via Axiell Designer, requiring an adapl and and an entry screen. Tasks must be defined per data source in an application structure definition (.pbk). You can specify as many tasks as you need.

In Axiell Collections, any available tasks for a data source can be selected and started in the Features section of the Result set context toolbar. If multiple tasks have been specified, a tasks list opens to allow you to select the desired task, while if just a single task has been specified then the relevant task screen opens immediately. If no records have been marked, the task will run on the currently selected record, while if records have been marked, the task will run on the marked records.

After a task has started, a screen will open allowing the user to enter data relevant to the task, after which clicking OK will run the associated adapl that will be executed for the selected or marked records in the result set, processing the entered data into each record.
