Bug 1940396

1. Proposed title of this feature request

GUI-based option to be able to bulk select and remove Content View versions.

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Content View version cleanup is one of the important maintenance activities that most of the users perform and they rely upon loop using hammer command or they delete the versions one by one. None of these methods are user-friendly. So there should be a way to select the required versions of a CV using checkboxes and delete them in bulk from UI only.


3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

For better and easier maintenance of content-view versions. 

These are the currently available options for the customers.

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2760531 or https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3966701 --> Both use the hammer and do not leaves the user with much of a choice for selective deletion and when too many versions are there hammer operation for delete will be way too slow for each version.

redhat.satellite.content_view_version_cleanup role from ansible collections --> Although it's designed well We should not expect that every customer will be using ansible collections to manage satellite or will have the necessary knowledge to do so.

So there should be a way to select the required versions of a CV using checkboxes and delete them in bulk from UI only.



4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

From Satellite UI --> Content --> Content Views, 
- Open a CV and go to the versions tab
- Select the version we want to delete using a checkbox
- From the select action dropdown click on “Delete Selected Versions” 
- It should create an async bulk task and display the task ID to the user.

This will provide a much better product experience than that of any other available options.



5. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
- Build a Satellite.
- Create a CV and publish it more than 10 times
- Keep Library environment promoted to latest version 10.0 and Prod LCE promoted to version 6.0
- Select all versions except 10.0 and 6.0 and from the bulk option, Delete the same.

6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

NA


7. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

Suggested in Satellite 6.9.z or beyond


8. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No.


9. List any affected packages or components.

10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
NA but support delivery team can
