Hi All,

I've to create the create a new application that's going to include thousands of existing objects.(For example 90K objects.) It means, if each page is displaying 25 number of objects in a page list, I'll have to navigate around 3600 pages to select all objects in each page and click "Add to Application" for each page.  Is there any quick work around for achieving this? For example, we can think about writing automated script for this process in Selenium. Just wondering if we have any another smart approaches to meet this requirement, please?  Thanks.

    The only thing that jumps to mind is that you can add some higher-level objects then search for their missing precedents and auto-add them; this will let you do hundreds at once (at least) instead of 25.  But that's assuming your use case for assembling this application isn't something unusual.  Like, if it's all disconnected documents... i'm not sure what you do.  Maybe create a dummy constant (array of document) that a process loops through and appends each document to, then add its precedents in the app?

    Thanks Mike, I'm concerned find and inspect higher-level objects for including the missing precedents as its increasing the manual efforts more. Its not for document objects, rest of all objects except documents.
