It doesn't have to be an either or. I can add a checkbox at the bottom that enables batch mode. Then I can switch the grid into multi-select mode. Best of both worlds.
I will have to play with the behavior to see if I can get it to be the same in single select versus multiple select.

Mazz - I think that's a fair point though I strongly favor the in-place editing.
Mike - does this have to be an either/or choice? if the user selects multiple rows can the behavior remain the same? It would be nice if the collection interval, enable/disable buttons were only visible in the multi-select scenario to help make the use obvious.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I change schedules, I almost always do it in bulk. either I want to bulk disable a set of metrics, or bulk enable them (changing from 20 minutes to, say, 1 minute - or the reverse). What happens if someone wants to just disable ALL metric collection for a particular resource? And what if that resource has lots of metrics?
It just seems like we are getting rid of functionality that is useful for no apparent reason.
IMO, losing bulk editing is a big loss in functionality. We should keep that ability.
----- Original Message -----
Here is revised example of the in-place editing model that we would like to roll out to the editable grids.
The first screenshot is the read-only mode where a row has not been selected.
This second screenshot is a row being edited in-place. The changes are saved once the save (check) is clicked or Enter key pressed.
Notably missing is the bulk edit feature (selecting multiple rows). The in-place editing model switches the grid into single selection mode so multiple rows cannot be selected. It is assumed that this model will enable edits quickly enough that a bulk editing model will not be needed.
