Anti-Routine: Mass Processing of Products and Sections According to Arbitrary Scenarios

What this solution does

The Anti-routine module automates mass operations on information block elements (products, news, articles) and their sections. It enables users to perform arbitrary actions on selected objects in any combination, eliminating the need for manual editing.

A comprehensive filter is included for precise data selection. It supports various condition types depending on field properties: equality checks, substring containment, start or end with, presence checks, and comparisons such as greater than or greater than or equal to. Additional options include matching against a list or excluding items from a list. The filter also allows selection based on parent sections.

The 'Anti-routine' module is designed for mass processing of products and sections according to arbitrary scenarios. Its key feature is extensibility: functionality can be easily expanded with plugins created by any developer using the 1C-Bitrix platform. The current version includes more than ten ready-made tools for solving common tasks.

Available capabilities include:

Quick counting of products based on specified filters and viewing the first found records. This allows for rapid identification of inactive products or products without detailed images.

Mass generation of symbolic codes based on any suitable field or property of an information block, with support for extended parameters.

Mass price modification. The tool supports working with trade catalog prices, purchase prices, and values in information block properties. Changes can be defined either as percentages (e.g., +5%, -10%) or as fixed values (+200, -100).

Mass population of product data. This includes updating fields and properties of information blocks, prices, stock levels, dimensions, and other product parameters.

Mass copying of prices between fields and properties. This enables transferring prices in any combination, such as from an information block property to trade catalog prices and vice versa, or from retail prices to wholesale prices.

The 'Anti-Routine' module is designed for mass processing of products and sections according to arbitrary scenarios. It automatically reduces images in information blocks that are set too large (in 'preview image', 'detailed image', or 'file' type properties), resizing them to a specified dimension using a selected mode. The mass image copying function transfers images from one field or property to another in any combination, for instance, to generate preview images from detailed photos.

The tool supports mass deletion of information block elements and their resaving to trigger handlers. For complex image processing tasks such as resizing, rotation, cropping, applying effects, rounding corners, adding text, watermarks, reflections, and frames, the separate 'Image Handler' module is used. This module is not included in the package and must be purchased and installed separately.

The solution performs tedious and monotonous tasks in minutes that would otherwise take days or months manually. Operational scenarios include viewing products by filter, mass price adjustments (such as increasing prices by 15% from the current value), and regenerating symbolic codes for selected items.

The 'Anti-routine' module is designed for mass processing of products and categories according to arbitrary scenarios. Standard operations include deleting all products of a specific manufacturer, setting zero stock for products with zero prices, and deactivating such products. The tool enables automation of thousands of similar tasks, freeing up time for critical work.

The module architecture supports integration of custom actions via plugins. This is useful when specific operations are required that are not covered by the standard functionality. A plugin can be developed by an external programmer following the documentation or created by the company's specialists. Connection is performed individually for each site via a single handler, ensuring rapid installation.

If the module lacks the necessary tools to solve a specific task, a custom plugin can be developed. Potential tasks include uploading product images by SKU, importing product information by SKU, automatically filling fields with data, and complex image processing.

The module allows saving form settings to a profile for quick restoration later. Profiles can be scheduled for execution via the cron scheduler with arbitrary timing. This provides high flexibility for automating mass processing of products and categories.
