Table toolbars

We have introduced two new configurable capabilities to the MDS Table component giving more flexibility to manage data and actions directly within the table experience:

  • Default toolbar
  • Bulk action toolbar

Default toolbar

The Default Table Toolbar exposes high‑level, table‑wide actions that are not tied to row selection. These actions typically affect the dataset, table configuration, or data exchange.

When to use

Use the Default Toolbar when actions:

  • Apply to the entire table or dataset
  • Are frequently accessed but not destructive
  • Do not depend on row selection

Bulk action toolbar

The Bulk Action Toolbar enables users to perform actions on multiple selected rows. It appears only when one or more rows are selected.

When to use:

Use the Bulk Action Toolbar when:

  • Actions require row selection
  • The same action can be applied to multiple items

Toolbar out of experiments

Alongside these updates, the standalone Toolbar component has graduated from MDS Experiments and is now fully supported for production use. We’ve improved its responsive behaviour and introduced a new “inverse” appearance to support bulk action contexts.
