Introduction

This section serves as a guide for developers who need to add a new Global Table Action within the application.
A Global Table Action represents an operation that affects the entire table — not just individual cells or columns — and is accessible through the Toolbar of the Table Viewer interface.

The following instructions describe the required steps to integrate a new action in both the backend (logic and operation execution) and the frontend (UI integration, button definition, and event handling).

Definition of Global Table Action

Within the I2T framework, a Global Table Action is defined as a high-level operation that can be performed on the entire dataset currently loaded in the Table Viewer.

Existing global actions include:

• Automatic Annotation – Runs a full-table annotation process.
• Export Table – Allows exporting the current table in multiple formats (JSON, CSV, Python pipeline and Jupyter notebook pipeline).
• Save Changes – Persists all current modifications to the server.
