buttons - How to avoid repetitive actions in table rows?


We have a table with data and actions on each row like so:


Name          Email                   Description         Actions
James james@gmail.com Desc 1 Edit Export Delete
Carl carl@gmail.com Desc 2 Edit Export Delete
Mike mike@gmail.com Desc 3 Edit Export Delete

Et cetera. As you can see in the example above, Edit, Export, and Delete are repeated on each row. This table can have up to 100 rows of data and each action is also repeated 100 times. Is there a better way of presenting the actions without being so repetitive? Or is this perfectly normal?




Answer



Another way of doing this is by placing check boxes in front of every row and adding actions (Edit, Export, Delete) on single or multiple selection at the bottom but it really depends on the case.


You can also have a top check box for selecting all rows in the table or on the current page (if you have pagination.)
