Recipe Intelligence lets you take action on many foods at once. Instead of accepting allergen suggestions or rating nutrient suggestions one food at a time, you can select multiple foods and apply the same action to all of them in a single click.
When to use group actions
Use group actions when you want to:
- Accept or delete the same allergen suggestion across many foods at once.
- Mark a batch of nutrient suggestions as helpful or unhelpful in one go.
- Move through your foods quickly without opening each one individually.
Selecting foods
Each food in your Recipe Intelligence list has a checkbox next to it. Click a checkbox to add that food to your current selection.
At the top of the list, the Select All Foods checkbox lets you act on every visible food at once. Its label and state change based on what's currently selected:
| Selection state | Checkbox label | Checkbox appearance |
|---|---|---|
| No foods selected | Select All Foods | Empty |
| Some foods selected | Select All Foods | Indeterminate (dash) |
| All visible foods selected | Unselect All | Filled |
Clicking the top checkbox while it reads Select All Foods will select every food in the current view. Clicking it while it reads Unselect All will clear your selection.
Performing a group action
Once you have one or more foods selected, the Group Actions button appears above the list. The button stays hidden until you make a selection, so it doesn't get in the way during normal review.
Click Group Actions to open the dropdown. You'll see four options:
- Accept all allergen suggestions — accepts every pending allergen suggestion on the selected foods.
- Delete all allergen suggestions — dismisses every pending allergen suggestion on the selected foods.
- Mark all nutrient suggestions helpful — gives a positive rating to every nutrient suggestion on the selected foods.
- Mark all nutrient suggestions unhelpful — gives a negative rating to every nutrient suggestion on the selected foods.
Choose the action you want and Recipe Intelligence will apply it across your full selection.
Tips
- Filter first, then select all. If you want to act on a specific subset of foods (for example, all foods on a particular menu or all foods missing allergen data), apply your filters first and then use Select All Foods to grab just the visible results.
- Allergen and nutrient actions are independent. A single group action only touches the suggestion type it's named for — accepting allergen suggestions won't affect nutrient suggestions on the same foods, and vice versa.
- Actions are auditable. Group actions are recorded the same way individual actions are, so each food's history reflects what changed and when.
