Open multiple records in new tabs for review

Open Multiple Records in New Tabs

May 5, 2026


If you’ve ever needed to review, compare, or assign a batch of records quickly, you know the drill: click a record, review it, go back, click the next one, repeat. It works, but it’s slow — and when you’re managing dozens or hundreds of submissions, every extra click adds up.

With the latest iFormBuilder update, you can now open up to 20 records at once in separate browser tabs directly from the Data Table. Select the records you need, open them all in one action, and move through your review without bouncing back and forth.

Batch Review Without the Back Button

This feature is built for the way teams actually work with submitted data. Whether you’re reviewing inspection results, assigning records to field staff, or validating entries before export, opening multiple records at once lets you work through a batch on your own terms — tab by tab, side by side, or in whatever order makes sense.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Select up to 20 records from the Data Table using the checkboxes.
  • Open all selected records simultaneously in new browser tabs with a single click.
  • Review, edit, or assign each record independently without navigating away from the others.
  • Cut down the repetitive click-review-return cycle that slows down daily data management.

It’s a small change in the interface that makes a big difference in practice — especially for admins, dispatchers, and team leads who process records in volume.

Who This Is For

This update is especially useful for:

  • Admins and data managers who review large volumes of submissions daily.
  • Dispatchers and supervisors assigning or reassigning records to field teams.
  • QA and compliance teams validating entries across multiple records before sign-off.

If your workflow involves moving through a list of records one at a time, this feature gives you a faster path.
