I want to go directly from a custom search form to doing a batch update on the results using a certain profile. In other words, I want to shield users from seeing the search results page, selecting all records, selecting the batch update with profile action, clicking Go, selecting the right profile, and clicking go.

Is this difficult?

How would I go about it, as the url for the batch update does not seem to include the profile ID.

Although I've seen that the core code often sets up a wizard to handle multistep processes, I'm not sure how one would go about defining and storing one in the db to handle something like this.

TIA,
Joe
