Bulk Copy

Bulk Copy lets you quickly copy identifiers from multiple selected records in any table view.

Overview

Bulk Copy lets you quickly copy identifiers from multiple selected records in any table view. It supports four output formats, ideal for sharing in emails/chats, pasting into spreadsheets, or feeding downstream tools and scripts.

Once copied, Labii places the values on your system clipboard so you can paste them anywhere.

How to use

1

In a table list, select one or more records using the checkboxes.

2

Click COPY ▾ in the toolbar.

3

Choose one of the four copy actions (below).

  1. Copy name

  2. Copy UID and name

  3. Copy SID

  4. Copy SID and name

4

Paste the result where you need it.

Copy actions & output

1) Copy name

  • What it copies: The record name/title only.

  • Output format: Newline-separated list.

  • Example (2 records):

Test Experiment
Stability – Batch A

2) Copy UID and name

  • What it copies: The UID (human-readable unique code) and the name, joined by ": ".

  • Output format: Newline-separated list.

  • Example:

EP1: Test Experiment
EP2: Stability – Batch A

3) Copy SID

  • What it copies: The SID (system ID; globally unique, non-editable).

  • Output format: Newline-separated list.

  • Example:

adgj0a40x43bc7chmrwBGL
7p8k2q1m4n9r0s3t5u6vWX

4) Copy SID and name

  • What it copies: An array of JSON objects, each with "sid" and "name".

  • Output format: A single JSON array (valid JSON).

  • Example (2 records):

[
  {"sid":"adgj0a40x43bc7chmrwBGL","name":"EP1: Test Experiment"},
  {"sid":"7p8k2q1m4n9r0s3t5u6vWX","name":"EP2: Stability – Batch A"}
]

Behavior details

  • Selection order: Items are copied in the same order they appear in the current table (including any active sort).

  • Delimiter: One record per line for text outputs; JSON output is a single array.

  • Encoding: Names are copied exactly as displayed (Unicode preserved). In JSON mode, special characters are properly escaped.

  • Clipboard only: No file is created; content goes directly to your OS clipboard.

  • Permissions: You can copy any record you can view; hidden columns do not affect copying.

When to use each mode

  • Name: Quick human-readable lists for messages or notes.

  • UID and name: Share a readable ID with context, handy for stakeholders who reference UIDs.

  • SID: Precise machine-stable identifiers for API calls, imports, or support tickets.

  • SID and name (JSON): Structured payloads for scripts, integrations, or bulk operations.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • Pasting into spreadsheets: Use Copy name, Copy UID and name, or Copy SID and then use “Split text to columns” on ": " if needed.

  • Need CSV: Paste the newline list into a sheet and export to CSV, or transform the JSON array as required.

  • Nothing copied? Ensure at least one row is selected and your browser allows clipboard access.

  • Large selections: Copy works for large sets; however, extremely big selections may be truncated by OS clipboard limits.

Glossary

  • UID (User-readable ID): Short, readable identifier like EP1.

  • SID (System ID): Long, immutable system identifier like adgj0a40x43bc7chmrwBGL.

Examples at a glance

  • Names: Test Experiment

  • UID + Name: EP1: Test Experiment

  • SID: adgj0a40x43bc7chmrwBGL

  • SID + Name (JSON): [{"sid":"adgj0a40x43bc7chmrwBGL","name":"EP1: Test Experiment"}]
