List Switch: How to manage Backend Lists a little more convenient
What it will look like:

When working with datatables one may come across fields containing simple on/off or cheched/unchecked functionality. Although OrctoberCms backend list already contains a column type named switch, this one is display only without any functionality. This means whenever a status like on/off has to be changed for more than one record, it is necessary to open the records form, update and save, open the next record and so on.
Often a more convenient way to manage data - for example to switch visibility of many items like pictures or products on and off is to do this via a list view. That is exactly what the List Switch plugin provides thankfully.
The plugin can be found on the OC homepage > plugins, search for 'Inetis' and/or 'list switch'.
